Well-heck, thanks for saying that.

And here's what "picayune" means. I can be that from time to time.

From Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary:

Main Entry: 2picayune
Function: adjective
: of little value : PALTRY; also : PETTY, SMALL-MINDED

Andy,

You are technically right. That is not in dispute. I just saw an
opening to harass you a bit. You are preaching to the choir ....
Half a dozen guys here would know what it meant if it was written
insideout and backwards and all the rest of us that might think it
looks cosmetically prettier with a slash rather than a dash.

In any event, please don't stop posting here. You and several like
you have made this board a wealth of information. I could name
names, but sure as heck I would leave someone out.

Keep up the good work,
Randy
