Just to let those of you who think that Slainte is my name. Nope.
It means "To your health". You know, like Cheers or Skol(sp), etc.

Having figured out lol, roflmao, imo, etc. . . .

I've been losing sleep, because I couldn't figure that one out. Too many letters, too many possibilities. I wondered if it was some DHer inside joke on us XC guys.

Whatever, sweet dreams tonight.

Slainte:D
