List,
My apologies first....

What the Hell am I missing here?? Someone set me straight

This thread is bordering on stupidity and/or insulting to
this List.

Move On......

John

I want what you guys are taking! "Pots with paint brushes calling kettles names!
With reference to the Hupe brothers, if one was a different color, it might ease
