Gene,

I'm too weary right now to argue the point. I'm not in any particular need of validation, so I'll forego explaining why I responded the way I did.

Thanks for your opinion and willingness to step in with it. Your point is well taken. It was surprising that you would comment the way you did here and then not address any of the substantiative elements in my other post, but that is neither here nor there.
