And it didtn seem to me that this thread had "died"... especially since I replied to a post written just an hour or so previous.. and a few others came in after mine. As for replying after being on vacation... something spots my eye, OT or not.. and I reply.  I dont see the harm bit at all.

If the harm is in the replies, you are the worst offender.
