[MR] We return - victorious

[Jim/Mathias]

Milady,
That's what I suspected the term meant, but wanted to confirm.  I'm actually
in the process of building a crossbow, as my family was nice enough to give
me all the metal parts for Christmas.  Now if I could ever make up my mind
what sort of wood I want for the tiller, I'd be in business.  To quote the
great bard, Lord Buffett of Margaritaville, "Indecision may or may not be my
problem."

Regards,
Mathias
