Welcome to the group, or club, as it were.
I was annoyed since Friday.

Indeed, I forgot about that, and I apologize for doing so.

I don't feel it was debatable, but I digress to, in terms of dropping it.

I have read your points, Larry.

The meat of the question is NOT as Scott states it. I am beginning to get a bit annoyed by this.
