Hi Mike, Look, I was asking honest questions. I was giving David a chance to correct himself, in a case where I wasn't completely sure what was right and wrong, but my gut told me that I was right. Then you jumped in with snide remarks that I should "pay attention". To something that happened eons ago! When it was apparent that I already believed the thing I should pay attention to, and was just questioning something that contradicted it! Then I had a more thorough look at things and confirmed my gut reaction. In my eagerness to respond to your snideness I probably misrepresented things so that it seemed like I knew from the start what was going on. So, David, I apologize if I have offended you and it is perhaps best if everybody just forgets everything that has happened in this thread since Mike appeared in it.
