I've mostly enjoyed reading this thread. Mostly.
I'm sure my 8th grade English teacher would love to take a red pen to
this
paragraph. I'm particularly intrigued (and by that I mean 'annoyed'
and
'flabbergasted') by the repeated use of 'everyone' and 'bad'.
Perhaps you and I were away on the day this unanimous consensus was
reached, Gary. ;-)
