Damn! Well, flood control works to block posting from any one 'puter within sixty seconds of the last post, regardless of whose screen name is used. And if you get the “flood control” notice, and hit the back button, the 'puter changes the User Name and Password BACK to the first poster’s. Thus, after I posted what I did, Randy posted what he did, and got hit with flood control. After hitting the back button we didn’t check whose name was in the UserName box, but just clicked “submit reply” again, and the machine defaulted back to me. Kind takes some of the fun out of the joke . . . ☹ -Melin ---

I dont have any problems having it at El Toritos, and they might be the only restaurant that can accomodate us easily.
