We're still here. Sounds like a lot has transpired for you since the last time you were here.
Since this thread is so long (we're being asked to follow the rule of 10 pages or 100 posts) why don't you start a new thread. You can cut and paste your last update post and use that to start your new thread.
Remember that things are a little slower here on the weekends, but folks will be around to post to you.
