"Rant"? What ME rant!? Glenn and Michael may rant but Wally is always
cool, calm and collected ;)

I apologize for getting "carried away" -- but not for the sentiment
expressed.

I have also apologized for implying that Glenn or others _never_ name
the persons at fault. But to do that consistently would be a better
strategy for all concerned (IMO).

Cool Wally
