Just wanted to say that you're doing a very thorough job here Dan (merit). I'm liking the level of detail with the answers - there are some amazingly quick responses. Keep the results coming as and when you are able, as the suspense is most definitely building!

Happy New Year to you all BTW.

Thanks Rich. I will admit that it's taking far longer than I'd anticipated but I tend to be rather meticulous by nature so I don't want to post anything until I'm 100% happy with it. I am also enjoying the suspense, even though I already know the outcome!

I hope you and family have a great new year too. Happy new 2016!
