Phil, you're like the Senate here in Canada, "The house of sober second thought." Great posts
.<br><br>P.S. You are unlike the Senate in that they are a bunch of overpaid, useless former politicians

FiverBob, <br><br>Right on, man. Don't leave out the no hair guys. It wouldn't be politically correct to discriminate in this matter.
