Really, Douglas !?!!  Actually in re-reading it finally, it really was too
long and I got some flack back on the racial part too.  Apologies to any

I will.  Maybe even the Popper stuff that Winslow talked about, tab or not
-- speed patterns are fun to play and not a bad practice regimen. Now if I
could just go to that $200 Madcat Ruth seminar in Virgina...........
