Thanks for the heads up on the new thread, JLS. Where is it, and how do I know when the main thread has migrated? This happens to me all the time; usually I'm the last one, posting to stragglers like me!
Abb put a link to it in post 292 on this thread just above ours. If you are not on their pings lists you need to freep mail abb and howlin and have them add you. [Each has a separate ping list so you want to be on both. There are others but I am not sure who keeps them.] Abb also usually does put a link to the next thread when he pings us all to migrate over. [There was so much news this week that it was hard to get everyone on the same thread.]
Here is another link to the new thread:
