Thank you, Steve. Thanks for posting that. People, let's grow up. Not
everyone is a totally dedicated Rush fan and knows how many times Geddy
flosses his teeth on avergae per month. I just enjoy this group for the nice
discussions we have. I know I'm new to the group, but let's not just stab
each other in the back if questions are asked over and over. Hey, it keeps
the alt.music.rush band interesting. A light poke of fun is no problem, but
let's not go beyond that.

Peace, y'all...
