Thanks, all, for including me in this discussion again.

Yes, I would very much like to again be part of it.
Please count me in.  But use 

   disneylogic@xxxxxxxxxxx

as my e-mail address of choice.  I get it in more places,
and it's far better than Yahoo!.  Not in Micronesia, either.
It's an Australian invention.

      He needs to be surprised.  (;-)}
