    troy,
    i was checking out some of your earlier posts. i think you have nailed it, although many of your earlier ones are really good as well. don't know why you would stop now.

    Gosh, Troy, that IS nice.

    Smooth, though it is kind of a bummer. to get the ultimate........ nowhere to go?

    You are already handholding......... I don't have any suggestions, that is a darn good shot.
