Morey; I don't know where THAT came from, but it's so much funnier than you realize. Anyway, cingratulations, once again, to Phil.

OK, "congratulations." I wasn't hired for my typing skills.

Wasn't intended as an insult, just an attempt at humor and recognition to Bill's top dog staus. I apologize if it was insulting.

Congratulations to all. Both Phil and Bill have been on a roll. I thought the Gerry Mander one in the other good ones was funny.

Morey; No offense taken. Problem with text communication. No inflection or nuance. Thanks for the complement. Still friends?
