Rest in Peace, Ray! Your creation will surely outlive you for many decades... Thanks, also, for making communication more efficient and freeing us from the slavery of sustaining yet another government service that was bloated and over-funded. The USPS works out much better now as an alternative - or will, once we can get them to stop sending all that BULK mail. ;) (y)
