I blunder, but its November, and well, I pretty much flounder and make
an a$$ of myself year round ... do I still count?

LOL! Nope, You're too net-savvy to count, blunders notwithstanding. As
for the noobs, it usually requires a couple of months and a few whacks
with the old clue-by-four before they either shape up or ship out, so
although it's November they are still with us, our most recent poster
being a case in point.

Cheers,
Pete.
