Kevin, I could rebut you point by point. Then do so. Try it.
Mike, anyone can be wrong. Anyone can be seriously wrong. But you won't own up to it.
Lame as it sounds, I don't want to spend the time doing so now. If someone other than you or Tracy says my credibility is on the line, then I will find time. Stating that credibility is "on the line" suggests there was some to begin with on this issue.
