O65, I wouldn't go that far; it's that this Board skews young and a lot of folks just don't know about'm. My ego talking here but together we are doing a public service and I hope that folks pick up on these masterpieces from master artists.

On the strength of this mention, I just ordered it. Thanks again, R_burke.
