Thanks WendyBeth for the intro and welcome,
to include those who have responded in kind...
I will give the Soooo....thread a review and see what is what and with whom in the Halls of Boredom.
And to CoasterMatt...no, no warnings about you or anyone else; which is all good as I like to form my own opinions.
Besides, it goes without saying that one is bound to cross some interesting yet strong (e.g. confident, arrogant, direct, etc.) personalities in online discussion forums; for better or worse
Anyhow, I appreciate WendyBeth's invite and will begin responding in various threads soon.
S.D.
