I have compiled this page of folks that I have recently discussed customizations with and have led me to others. wluther started a list on a couple of his posts and I thought I would expand upon it just a bit. Then I asked rschroeder about a few things and he lead me to more. Again a list was developing. I have not had time to ask cnorborg about more regex stuff but I am sure he has some excellent ideas and some teaching points to share. As I find more helpful posts for my use, I will reference them here. Please follow&bookmark&KUDOS this page, if this would be a helpful resource for you.
I would like to thank all of you here for your contributions.
Thanks,
Eric
