     I know what you're saying. I understand and I'm the same. I've done 
some things that could be recognised but even in this group, I wouldn't say 
what it was that I did in a newsgroup. It's nothing sensational that I feel 
should be said, but I do feel priveledged to have done it. And that puts a 
smile on my face.  :)

   It's my only real accomplishment in this world.

   I feel for you Jim, because, trust me, I DO understand. The last eight 
years for me have somewhat aged me beyond my years. (Well, you might not 
think so if you looked at me, but inside, I don't feel good anymore, and 
feel really 'old').
