That was very gracious of you to apologize on the cluster, Dick (I saw 
your self spot with the apology). I think most reasonable folks recognize 
that we all push the wrong button from time-to-time. Heck a few weeks 
ago someone's transmitter was stuck on 160 CW sending dits for about  7 
hours straight :-)
