Just got them loaded onto my site in his format...will spend the next few days reformatting to fit my site....I'll let you know when they're there - prepare to spend several hours reading some GREAT stuff!

I've spent about 4 hours reformatting/copying/whatever...

...but in a few days, they'll look like my site but will still be "Shade Tree" stuff!

WHEW! Good thing I'm spending another week in a hotel room!

Hey Tony -

Sorry to hear about Shadetree, but hopefully Chuck is moving on to other joys. Thanks for keeping all that knowledge in circulation. I know I speak for myself, and probably a coulpe of others out there, when I say "At this point I need all the knowledge I can get my brain on!" ("...all the knowledge on which I can get my brain"?)
Thanks again!
