I hesitated to even post here, because I know better, but for crying out loud this is a place where - despite my objections to some of what&#039;s allowed - the administration tries <b>very</b> hard to keep political considerations out of the mix (to their <i>great</i> credit) and y&#039;all don&#039;t seem to want to let them.</p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;re demonstrating the level of self-control which leads to buying &quot;MS66&quot; Morgans in NNC slabs, and then wondering why it gets edited.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
