Ken,

I'll bet I speak for others when I say how much I enjoy your posts. The way you clearly convey your thought process and discoveries leads us all along with you. Like a great mystery novel we know the hero will win in the end, though some chapters may leave us wondering...

I'm guessing the private correspondence between you and Stick must be publish worthy. We're lucky to have so many really good writers here, but even luckier still to have all us others who are so willing to share! Some people's writing is a mystery, but we usually know what our friend Jim means ;-)

Thanks for sharing.
