with apologies to David Fitzgerald ...

After taking a look at David's 'arrogant' response, and Rob's reaction to it, I need to change those suggestions to:

• Don't be so sensitive
• Give more attention to details
• Consider apologizing to David for daring to help you

(again, David, sorry I impugned you before checking what Rob was referring to)
