David,
Just curious if you were able to solve your mis-running Spit problem,
because (a) I just arrived in upstate NY late Saturday & was thinking of
having a look-see, and (b) I (and presumably most other Spit-Listers) are
normally interested in hearing the final solutions to our various
challenges.
Cheers, Ree G. in Mexico, NY - (sans) 78 Spit FM 73070U O
