Upon reading this post, I regret not being able to enjoy your post, and if there is some way of retrieving it, even if it is simply sent to you privately, I would request that you email me a copy for my enjoyment. My own posts were in all likelihood not of the same quality as yours, and this is why I have been quiet. BTW, I have never had any of my posts removed before this most recent election. For the record, if anyone has had any postings deleted, feel free to email them to me, I do enjoy the CCC. No, this post is not meant to criticize a single soul. Oliver
