...just getting back to email now, I have more email in my _personal_
inbox today than I've ever had to deal with in a 48 hour period (900).

I thank you Rob for your insight.

I'll review your message along with all of the other ones over the
coming days.

This is more-or-less just a 'thank-you' message to let everyone know
that I am very appreciative of the overwhelming response that I have
received thus far. I especially want to thank those who provided
feedback to ensure my test was off the ground, and had proper technical
merit.

Cheers!

Steve
