Gaaaack!!! No, you may not. He did leave the cat9 with me, however, with instructions that I should flog myself if I missed an opportunity to mention the WSH. I hadn't even thought about it until I saw your post. Feel free to point out any indiscretions on my part in Ed's absence, however.

Excuse me, I've got to go flog myself...whack....whack....whack....
