Hey, thanks for the kind words. Most don't dare offer
this kind of support, and it helped "turn the tide"
of stupid comments (I have wrangled with DB in the past
over Canon camcorders, and his best come-back is always
an attack on style rather than a substantive argument).
I'm surprised "Seattle Eric" and some others didn't
jump in, too, and go for my web-page designs and other
irrelevant and OT things, as they've done in the past.
Weird, these gratuitous attacks (which are generally
from "Mac-heads" and "Canon-lovers" who feel insecure
about their choices, I guess...;-). I felt it unwise
to enter this silly thread, but I appreciate you're
doing so.
