David,
Since you chose to refer to me in such a charming fashion ;-) may I ask what you are doing that takes you away from our loving company for so long? Also, I must congratulate you on your astonishing luck if it was coincidence that brought you back to UT at the perfect time to refute an allegation involving you. ;-)
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
