My pleasure, Sam. I suppose I've had a like number of reactions to your previous "I Think's" but never had cause to comment on them directly. We can thank Brunnen-G for bringing up your latest "I Thunk" here, and yourself (of course) for drawing attention to it by putting "I Think" up as a poll question. :-)

Somewhat harsh words, when compared to your usual genial self, Kelly. What gives -- were you really hoping you'd get a response to that? Sam is more than capable of defending himself; yet he has given you his answer in full.
