F.A.C. >> > Reminds me of the story of the 'String" Man who collected string for some 50 years and made large balls of string that he kept in his attic. After his death, family members went to the Attic to check out what was there. About 35 or 40 huge balls of string were lying around plus dozens of boxes. Hoping upon hope for another major collection, the first box was brought over under the light and dusted off. There the label revealed -- String too short to save! Just might be the case here. Charley
