thanks, bud! i'll be honest - i checked back on this forum after at least a month. for some reason (let's see... what MIGHT be the reason?), i'm losing my appetite for anything remotely related to a GC. i work in an area which needs to have costly and timely security clearances on a frequent basis, so not having this damned approval keeps me more frustrated than the average guy.
i try hard to check back here, but - once again - have lost 99% of my interests. still, i'm starting to think about trying the congressman/senator route, and if things do budge, i'll keep you guys informed. whatever happens, i promise not to vanish without a passing Auf wiedersehen.
and of course - like most - i do miss sankrit (and pork's) posts too.
