Excellent suggestion !

Speaking of suggestions, I think Bob Stewart and AR managemnt should put out a request for members to send in words they think should be added to the ActiveRain dictionary since individual members cannot (and with good reason) add words themselves.

Let's bring our ActiveRain dictionary into the 21st century !
