Well thanks.  BTW, I only bring up my "hardships" to illustrate how little
time I really have to devote to this list, or probably more accurately, how
much time I spend that I shouldn't.

As for taking it personally, it seems I get dinged somewhat regularly
(although not in a while) for not giving complete answers, being too short
(answers, not height) etc.  Sometimes it's because I'm around a lot and like
to help.  I only ask that people accept that I have my own personal issues
that sometimes get in the way of the list and for folks to cut me a break.  I
know I'm a fixture around here.  I can't help it.  I don't spent the time I do
because of ego or anything like that.  I spend the time because I truly like
helping folks and I have learned an unbelievable amount here.  I figure it's
my duty and obligation to give back as much as I can.  I sometimes just cannot
give the effort that some folks want, or worse, expect.

So, my response was not out of any grudge.  Not at all.  But I've also found
some newbies to get a really wrong opinion of me from some things that get
said from time to time.  I just wanted to set the record straight that while I
am a fixture around here, I *do* have a life that at times excludes this
list.

Heartily accepted.  No worries.

Bah, don't worry about that.

I'll keep answering questions when I can.  I just don't have the time I used
to for this.  When I say I feel it's an obligation to give back, I sincerely
mean it.  I just might give short, semi-complete answers from time to time if
I think someone has the resources to figure out the rest. :-)
