Mark and all,
Thank you Mark for your frankness and straight forward reply here.
A refreshing change, to be sure. And it is good that you seem t also
have indicated contrary to William's contention that Joe and Richard

likely already done so.
As to Joe's antics, I am not in agreement with you there, but that's
the world I suppose. Everyone has a right to their own opinion.
