Moodle

[Dazed_75]

Thanks to you as well for getting it going back then and for your
assistance today.  You are certainly welcome any time you would like to
stop by.  I only wish we had found more time to chat.  FYI, there are a few
of us who often go to dinner afterwards if you are interested in that.
