I guess that I just did not understand why you even bothered to start your post off with the fact that you had spoken with him and did not post any of your conversation. I certainly don`t want to read anything into anyone`s posts. As you know, we all apprciate Brian`s input on this board and would like to hear from him. The fact that he has not posted for awhile has raised my hopes that he is attending an AB meeting. Sorry that I misunderstood your post, Ron. Good luck, ads
