Thanks guys....

Back in the day I think it would have made me kinda more depressed as well, not just producing a TWINGE of "Oh gee thanks jerk".... and a much bigger twinge of "Yeah, I know I look way better".
Guess you learn to roll with the punches as you go on!
And, on top of it, I know how few people can actually do what I've done (and you guys too!!) and stick to it! So I know I should be proud.
