Thanks.  :--)

That's exactly correct.  I don't see why this is so controversial but
.... I'm obviously missing something here.  :--)

Yeah, that's true enough.  I nearly failed geometry so those types of
relational issues befuddle me often.  I see your point though.
Likewise, I can't think of another word for the situation.  FITD may
just have to be the one that works for me.

Yes, please!  I second that one.  It's best to try & highlight what it
is you're referring to and then add your own thoughts *after* what
you're referring to (I think).  Then, delete everything that follows
after you've finished replying to things.  Good admin point Kelley!
