        Nice. :) I got my last two jobs off Twitter ... which is likely even more mind-boggling than Craigslist. - Beryllium Oct 6, 20:45 1

        It's not often that I get offended personally, so no worries there. It was probably just extreme incredularity ... -- nm - Beryllium Oct 6, 20:38

Anyway. Thanks, Jim & CQ. That's what I suspected ... doesn't sound too daunting ... -- nm - Beryllium Oct 6, 18:25
CQ: Does the tank usually have a wax ring? I thought only the base would (and we got that replaced within the past 18 months) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 6, 18:17 6

  - thrown=throne. weird -- nm - CQ Oct 6, 18:20 3
