I just wanted to thank those of you who responded to my original
question via email, I learned things book research couldn't tell me. You
have been most helpful and I really appreciate it. I always welcome
more information, either on this board or over email, so please email me
anytime if you've something you'd be willing to share.
Thanks again,
Tommy
