Thanks, Les (and all). I really appreciate it. It's a pleasure being  
around you all, and I've learned an amazing amount, and I appreciate  
your patience when I make my stupid (but well-meaning) ID attempts...  
I'm really looking forward to having my life back from work and  
actually birding something more than my patio again...

It's no trouble at all. I'll take care of it after I shut down the  
old server and get the other archives back online. I'm just sorry it  
took so long to get here.

I'm going to look at that. The archives are also going to start  
heading out to google and the other search engines, also.

Boy, am I glad this is done....
