For reasons unknown to me, I CANNOT post from the web page. I could (and have)
done it in the past, but for the past six months or year, every attempt fails.
I have no idea why. But posts I make from the web page never show up in the
forum.
Then next time I have something significant to say, I will try posting again
from the web page, but I am not holding my breath.
