Terry,
I was just ribbing him a little bit.  I've exchanged posts with Greg before 
and had the impression that he was a big boy that could take a little 
ribbing.  If I have offended him (as I obviously have you) my apologies to 
Greg and to you.  I'll try to limit myself in future to good, tactful, and 
constructive posts although that may severely limit their number as I have 
little good to say, even less that's constructive, and tact is almost out 
of the question.

You're Welcome.

Phil Ford
