Passing along some news from another forum. As per quote below appears Doug is going to be out of touch for a bit.
Our member Doug of cable fame left me a voice mail and is currently at the hospital emergency room with some problems and expects to be admitted and surgery performed tomorrow. I am sure he would appreciate all thoughts and prayers during this time. He does not have internet access and will be in touch ASAP.

Best wishes from this Polk member sent his way!

    I wonder if this thread will even reach 5 pages, as opposed to that crappy PFB thread. This one at least has a reason to get that many posts...
