i was asking Ted really, and if you dont know who steve is read the banner on the site, i'm not talking about you, i mean the site owner

Sorry about the delayed reply. Steve Burns, the sit's main original founder, is alive and well, and I am sure he pops in from time to time. I always hear from him at my birthday and at site renewal time (we share the costs, taking turns), at minimum. He's a great person, always has a very positive attitude.
