Russ:

So that's the reason I should stand around watching friends assemble . . 
. <G> Seriously, very good explanation of 'dog' . Good job. Reminded me 
of the kind of  teaching the late Gary Valant did and Mike still does so 
well.

Also I've noticed other people stepping up with very good technical 
answers lately. What a great resource the digest is!

Best Wishes,
