Thanks Ron and Marcus. It's a tough balancing act.
May I gently suggest closing the thread? It might be that a separate thread on the subject of moderation (or civility, or posting etiquette, or whatever) is called for--possibly as a sticky. On the early evidence, I'm dubious that this thread, with its original title and the name of the OP attached, can serve adequately.
Just a thought.
An unexpected 11 inches of heavy, fresh snow at Baker today. Here's to safe, fulfilling, and moderately fattening holidays!
