Skip,
Hope it wasn't me that ran you off. I've tangled a few
times with some folks here, not many and I try not to
take it personal, and I don't take notes or keep score.
I've already forgotten who they were and life is too
short anyway. Reconsider and come out of retirement or I
will impound ALL of your Olympus equipment!
I'm kidding of course....
Sam...
