Rob,
I'm sorry if I offended your sensibities with my attempt at helping someone 
else.  Don't worry, I don't intend to EVER do it again.  I'm removing myself 
from this list to prevent the temptation.

By the way BIG MOUTH if you ever want to try "pants" me, come on down and I'll 
show you some real southern hospitality!

Joe
