[AT] More dumb stuff...

[David Bruce]

Steve,

I don't have anything to add to this thread but for a "job well done" for you - 
been in the throes of not being able to do a lot of things but with a lot of 
work and some good help from good friends I'm almost back to my old, impossible 
self - they were a great help as I'm sure you have been.  "No good deed goes 
unpunished".  Believe me, we can all visit there in a blink of an eye.  I know 
he appreciates your help.
