I've enjoyed reading all these postings to this thread. I'm pleased to see the return of geniality.

At my advanced age (168), I finding it increasingly important to succeed in elevating myself any way possible. When I sneer, smugly I might add, at others' missuse of the term "Hoot", I can successfully feel superior to those that "were not there."

Please don't deny me any advantage I can garner ... my opportunites are seldonm these days! CHEERS, Bob
