Now, that's a tough question, even though it seems simple.

5-6 years ago I quit, cold turkey, when I realized that c.o.v was eating up my entire 
life.  I'm hoping that I've learned moderation, and that I can participate in a rational 
manner.  We'll see.

Still doing VMS stuff, still got more electrical heaters running than one person needs.  I 
guess that problem will be even harder to solve.

Thanks for asking ....
