@Bunn-Wackett, how amiss of me, not to thank you - - - I often feel, I have offended people, never intend to do that - - - probably cultural blindness of sorts, but I am always trying to be honest, and I appreciate HotCopper, it is almost like an interesting and exotic market place with such a huge variety of subjects and opinions on offer, so I 'look in' daily, even though, it does tend to eat up a lot of precious time.
Our friend @NoBoDe - is sending his best to all his old friends on this thread, and he will eventually post again. He is not a well man now, has bad emphysema, but I still call him almost daily and listen to a story he always has ready for me, even when difficult.
Happy Holidays, to all who read this, and especially to you, Mister @Bunn-Wackett!
