Thanks "rob" - I have been in hot water for 78 years and have learned
to tolerate it quite well. After a career in the Aero-Space industry,
one can survive anything and still chuckle from time to time. You
are aware, I am certain, that some folk believe that YOU are Mario.

I note from YOUR full header that: X-UIDL:

Hi all -
