1. Thanks a lot for your cross-posting profgoose - but this will be moved to GD

as the (excellent) site and the comment thread are not a direct news report, which is required for Latest Breaking News.

Make nothing of the move, just the way it is over here.

Besides, I can tell you TOD has been linked often and is being followed by many DUers.

Thanks for all your work

:thumbsup:
