Mac,
I wouldn't extend this offer to just anyone.
But because you and I are such long tenured cyber-friends, if you want to go after the Yuku geeks brandishing a stick, about these phantom thread disappearances, I'll whittle a point on that stick for you.
And if you poke them with it, tell 'em sear said that goes double for him too.

Tracy,
I'm sorry for the cyber-disappearance.
But 10 words from you should clear it up.
On a scale from zero to ten*, how knuckleheaded is the HDD idea?

* 0= sensible & practical, 10= metaphysical knuckleheadedness
