Keven:
Would that our elected officials were so concerned with being clearly
understood! Are you trying to say that your earlier answers were legally (or
technically) accurate, but that you did not volunteer information? Thanks for
the clarification, and for taking the responsibility for misleading us! ;-)
Obligatory classic Mustang content: The Commander-In-Chief owns a
'67 Mustang convertible. Do *we* now need to start worrying about "damage
control", too? Sheesh, first Bryant Gumble - now this! Note to the FBI lab:
That's BRAKE FLUID on the upholstery, okay?
Sorry, I can only control myself for so long...

Ok, Ok! You caught me, I have smoked a few shunts, but I _never_ inhaled!

Boy, you guys are just too nice! It's nice to feel smart sometimes. That
offsets the times I feel like I know zip (about 75% of the time!).
I know enough to know how much I don't know, you know? ;-)
