Dear Tony,
Thanks for this information, I too THINK that I 'see' the 'others' that made
contributions to this MOST amusing (seemingly to most of us) site!
Please pass on my congrats. to the 'main author', and thanks to him/them for
a much-needed laugh at this season!
The best to you and all your staff for the Holidays!
Sincerely,
Julius
