    Never has a smiley been more appropriate. :lol: Never thought I'd miss the old boy. The only positive to wading through the inane and obdurate turn this thread has taken is that it has coaxed dachs, that notorious Anglophile (or is he a Slavophile now?), out of retirement. Welcome back.:salute:
