Grin, then add this to your data search.  Ward and I are friends.  THat doesn't
mean every message you will find makes it seem so, but that is the reality.

I'm not afraid to take him to task if I think he's wrong, nor him me, but we
understand one another and would love to have a beer together!  Unfortunately I
can't offer more than common dives for bars, as that's where Don goes so all I
know here, but hey... He'd probably laugh after dissing my miller lite and the
other choices then select a reasonably decent scotch.
