Mike,

I have just sent an email to Becky whining and complaining a lot....  
but you know how that'll go.
:-)

If not an answer, I'll call him in the morning. It's bed time here....

And yeah... wow.... He complains about the 'slackers', but we're  
going to have to put him in the 'whiners' category!
:-))))

Ha! Whiner Mad Dog..... Mad Whiner Dog... Mad Dog Whiner? Decisions,
decisions....
:-)
