Sorry, but trying to meet your standards for "good enough" isn't all that
high up on my priority list. My previous statements stand. Thank you very
much for pointing out what "I was clearly saying." Without you, my posts
would surely be mistaken for the random pecking of wild monkey's on an
unattended keyboard.
