Thanks.  :-)

Yes, it has been quite a while.  I'm just getting back online, believe
it or not, after a *long* hiatus.  Never would have thought I could
survive such a deprivation for as long as I did, but I'm still
here!  :-)

Gosh, it's great to be back!  So sad to see that Cox no longer carries
news anymore, though.  That was a rude surprise, to say the least.

I was wondering if our paths might cross eventually.  I've been
wondering about some of the old Cox newsgroups crowd.  Great to hear
from you.

I see you're still as prolific a poster as ever.  :-)  Wow, how *do*
you find the time?  Amazing.

Well, give me time to digest everything you wrote and I'll get back to
you.  Thanks very much for the reply (and for the welcome!).

Take care,

Conrad
