I have little experience when it comes to posting and I don’t know how to thank everyone for your responses other than individually?
I’m afraid that that would become robotic sounding after the first ten or so “Thank Yous” so I’m hoping that this post will be an appropriate way to do so?
“Thank You Everyone” for your thoughts and responses!
