Hi Bill,
Got it!
Oddly enough, when you said that Joyce's use of mbd was a puzzle, I misinterpreted your message to say that it was the file extension (the three or four letters in a filename after the " . ") of a popular online puzzle format, rather than in the context of "mystery, conundrum, etc."
LOL!
Hopefully, when she sends us her next post, she will say that she meant to type mdb instead of mbd .... a simple enough mistake to make!
But Joyce, did we ever answer your question?
