Jim,

My fault; I started it by posting your link for CWShredder - which I
fortuitously stumbled upon while cruising your site, as I do with a certain
regularity - and then due to not really "spelling out well" a description of
the URL link, started the commotion by being slammed by you know who.
news:ecJj7o3#DHA.3452@TK2MSFTNGP11.phx.gbl

At any rate, the dust is settling; your understanding and support -in more
ways than one- is appreciated, and I'm glad you will be able to withstand
any possible onslaught of Bandwidth that this will consume, as well as being
most able to effectively "duke it out with the bad guys". <S>

Your site works great; *even I* can navigate my way though the huge amount
of info you offer. Therefore, I'm wishing you 5 more (make that 10 if you
can handle it. Hope so!) successful and great years doing what you do so
well!

Your devoted fan,
