Ah! Now that's the root of his troubles, right there. Just in case 
anyone else is confused, I DON'T feel helped, thankful, grateful when 
someone answers my posts/questions. I expect you to have a whale of a 
good time when you post (I've always found it to be rather pleasant and 
fun to post). However I'm shhing on the subject of Thomas more or less 
permanently. This sort of humor works only when you're in a good mood 
and feeling chirpy, but that's not always the case so.. He's more or 
less Steve's baby anyhow (sorry Steve).
