I tried a copy-and-paste to use Mike's comment icon, but clicking it had no effect in even opening a link with Mike.
Even though your posting was in January, it missed the deadline for the February Newsletter summary. The long tradition is that the Newsletter deadline "is the mail delivery on the last day of the month" which can be anywhere between 1:00 and 3:30 pm Central whatever time. It will be listed in the March issue.
Of course, with the discussion, the posting is important, but I thought I should explain it for major items such as Newsletter articles, convention lists, and such. Thanks to all participants for their help.

Paul,
There is an option to leave comments after the blog entries. I have no
idea how often Michael reads them though.
