Amiable Dorsai:
I must say that I'm truly impressed by the number of people on this
thread, who, when a split second decision has been thrust upon them,
have, apparently, never said the wrong thing, never zigged when they
should have zagged, never hit the brakes when they should have turned
the wheel and who have always, even when a choice needed to be made in
the time between "cru" and "io", weighed their options, consulted a
lawyer, prayed for guidance, and made a cost-benefit analysis before
acting.

I congratulate you.
