Brother Fred, I am a new guy here, as you are. I am not sure that these eggcorn people want a lot of non-eggcorn stuff, such as EKSETRA. (That is how my brother pronounces it about every ten minutes.) I have asked a few questions. I hope they answer soon. I like them and their web site a lot. And they probably will like you and me if they get to know us.
