Joan: I agree it would be nice to post some of the prior posts we all have done so that others can copy or save these "anthologies". Here are some of mine and a few others, including your "definitive" statements on several subjects. I tried to organize them, but it's hard to do. Many were responses to questions about several subjects. But I tried. Best to you and all, as always.
