I don't know Rick personally, but from his posts I know he's both very professional and knowledgable. He's definitely an asset to this forum.

Rick, get well soon.

Rick's wife printed out the thread and took it to him, and she said it really made his day to see all the support. Here's an address if anyone would like to send a card.
