Believe me, I wish I was at the bench instead of bogged down at work.  I struggle just to meet the swap deadlines. 

And I certainly appreciate all the ties posted, even if I don't post as often as some.  I also appreciate all the comments/questions/observations other members post as well, even if I don't always make a comment.
