hey caco - i again admit i didn't also read everything you wrote..i don't like reading anything that's more than few lines but that is my issue not a cheap shot at yours or anyone else's writing ability and their content. 

i find myself quoting others today....i read this one line from your comment and that's all i needed read. very well said!!
