Good.  That's how anybody with any sense would see it.  Simple facts.

Hmmmm.  Not sure what the repercussions of that would be.

 WvV> I don't think that was explained.

It certainly was not, and that's pretty much the whole crux of the

 WvV> What has any FTSC member done in the last couple of years?

Nothing, as far as I can tell.

 WvV> Ward claims he generally doesn't read this area.

Yeah, well......... Ward claims lots of things...
