Thank you all for the very kind comments. Although I don't post very often, I have been very impressed with the caliber of the membership and moderation here at myArmoury.
<edit> My apologies for the delay in responding. I haven't been visiting forums lately, though I should have been more diligent in monitoring this thread for replies.
