By the way, I built a custom for a guy a few years back with sneakypete as part of his email address.

Sneaky back: to Howard M 1st thanx for the reply--I looked up "Eponymous Greenhill Formula" and understand it. 2nd--Sneaky or Sneaky Pete is Not a uncommon nick-name for Soldiers in the Special Forces Groups which I were one way back in the stone age---BUTthe one you were refering to is/was not me. THANX--SNEAKY.
