Thanks for the advice, Whirlygig. Verticalhold and I go back far enough that no insult can hurt that much so have no fear on that score.
As a frequent and very well respected, albeit rather young, contributor to this forum who has already kindly expressed support for the cause of the eldery may I ask you to encourage your many friends to add their support and, above all, to keep this thread alive and on the front page. Anything to help maintain the momentum!
Thanks,
Uncle Ian
