Yes, but an English teacher who makes obvious mistakes in spelling (YOUR looking under the hood????)and grammar (watch those commas) should pay attention to his own errors first, instead of worrying about something he obviously knows little about (the missing 24 hours theory, much talked about here.)  We try hard not to annoy one another here.  SSS seems to be trying NOT to annoy.  Can't say the same about you.

Sorry, elves, but I've had enough.  I'll be skipping your posts from now on, md.
