George had a little issue with a hidden link. But, not to worry. I fixed it.

Especially our ‘badged’ GOG, Vikki, who takes care of things like hidden links.
I was wondering. I tried to finish my post, but it just posted without my invaluable comment.
I tried to edit and it edited my edit right out of this world. Glad to know.

Luke,

I may have been editing it at the same time to remove the link from your quoted reply. Sorry about that.

I subscribe to a number of “word of the day’ emails. This word was one a few weeks back. I used it to re-start this thread which had died. Go back to my veryfirst posting
and see the definition the dictionary gave in that word of the day segment. Just one page back, very top of the page. Interesting word.
