Devon,
Agreed and thanks.  Come to think of it, I think it was a cranky
extension that I wanted/needed.  The best thing for me to do is as
per your suggestion, try it again, isolate the problematic extension
and go from there.  Thanks for your offer to answer my questions, I
might be spamming your inbox soon!  :-)
