Hi Norcal,
Let me add my welcome to the forum. Hope you find it useful and enjoyable to participate with us. I understand your reluctance to give out personal info. I'm the same way. But, we've been around here for a long time and we're the good guys and we promise you, it won't be a concern for you. If anything, we tend to go overboard in protecting our members from undesirable riff-raff that try to get membership here on the forum to cause trouble. Kind of like the overly protective parents!

Again, welcome. Glad you found us!
