I dunno Christopher, but isn't that carrying this PC thing a bit far?

I've reached that age where I don't feel I should waste what little time I 
might have left typing all that with my hunt and peck fingers. ;o)

My first M.I.L. had a saying I still remember, She was rather opinionated:
"They've got the same clothes to get glad in that they got mad in." 64 years 
later, it still seems appropriate. :o)

Take care and stay well.
