Yeah, their gone. This is good as I couldn’t imagine having to look at that when I haven’t finished my morning coffee!

Thank you Administrators for taking them away!

\<---------- Kneeling before the Great and Generous TubaDiva. She who knows, and shares, and defends. I might just have to cast her in bronze, but the heat would be terrific !!  
Now…I still see the flames. And, as for the person who asked- “Flaming” someone here in cyberspace is the written equivallent of attacking them at a cocktail party. One does it with great trepidation, since…91% of the time…the flamer gets flamed in return, and before you know it, we have a veritable conflagration.

Hail, Hail, the Diva!!!

Yes, thank you, thank you, thank you - Nickrz for responding and letting us know what’s going on, and Tuba for dousing the flames. Gee, I feel like I did some good for humanity (well, for the teeming millions anyway), certainly for my eyeballs. Now I can move on and try to learn how to do the smiley faces!
