Hi John, I was looking around the new site and see that you have continued to post. I have enjoyed reading many of the articles that you and others have posted form time to time. I am thankful that David and his crew elected to continue the tradition of fund alarm; and, you and Ted, no doubt, were a big part of this throurough the links that you provide. Perhaps in time Ted will reappear more often. Thanks much. Skeeter
