Wow!!! I am quite literally in tears and grinning ear to ear at the same time. Thank you all!

I’m online and reading and posting this using a neighbor’s WEBTV unit… a very interim arrangement.

But I take your point about getting the necessary, and, as the Highwaymen would have it, “I’ll be back again… and again…and again.”

Monty, I need to say a word in Dewaholic’s defense – the “Chip” to whom she refers is my boss (and her ex-boss) – and the resemblance is quite real, though I hadn’t thought of it in quite that way until she said it. He is a quite interesting person but a challenge to work for, and her judgment is not unreasonable on this. And I am 100% certain, given that she was referring to my work conditions impeding my SDMB situation, that he was the Chip to whom she referred.

I nominate Polycarp as “Most Missed Poster”, now that I’ve stepped down.
