Thank you. I was wondering where that thread was!

Yes, that is indeed correct.

Eh… it tends to get lost amid all the hustle and bustle of this forum. Good thing I have a subscription to it, so I can find it relatively easily in my subscribed threads. 😉 😃

Guess I’m late here, but I applaud **cityboy916’s** name change. I’m the Arky around here, and don’t y’all forget it!

Actually, I know there’s people who still live in The Natural State (or haha, the Land of Opportunity) here on the boards, so I would defer to them, since I was only born and raised there…

Better later than never. Thank you, **Arky** , and sorry for the confusion. 🙂

I don’t normally support name changes, but I think **clittytoy916** is a definite improvement over ardvarky or whatever it was. This new one really sticks in your head.

I just figured out where I know the number from. My grandfather was born in 1916.

Leave it to **sillyboy916** to come up with something like that! 😃
