Thanks very much Ted, very kind :-).

I remember that guy. He was the one through which I acquired my very first uncut episode of Columbo on VHS (Swan Song with Japanese subtitles).

Then, along came Columbia House with the line up they offered at $19.95 each plus $4.95 S/H. I bought them all, and they were absolutely superb prints with audio tracks that put the subsequent DVD versions to shame.

Rex hasn't posted here in a long time and I still find that the number of devoted forum contributors who vanished after Carleen died equally strange.
