    Sparky!! How have you been? I haven't seen your name in quite some time.
    My Gawd! Dane! A very, very LONG time since we last communicated! How are things going for you these days?
    As for me, I ended up working 16 years for the Tennessee Department of Transportation's IT Division and being their Applications Manager for 14 for those years. I retired in 2015 and am now living in north central Tennessee in the sticks - but with gigabit fiber Internet access (I did my homework).
    I remember those heady days of long ago. I always tell people who ask that I made the world's best buggy whips.

    Hi Mark,

    There's hardly any traffic here. For a long, long time, all newsreader discussion, also on offline newsreading/newsreaders, is going on in news.software.readers.

    So feel free to join us (TINU) there!

    And yes, in a previous life I've used your qwk, so consider a - very - belated thanks for your work!

    Frank

    It's been over two years since you replied but I'll have a look over there and see what's going on.

    Sparky
