Well, since I started this particular subthread, I just wanna say that I
never meant to imply that Rich was here on any sort of official business. 
I merely speculated that some of his particular language usage might be
informed by the corporate culture in which he works.  I don't think that's
an unreasonable assumption, nor was it meant to be insulting.  And if Rich
denies it, I'm willing to accept that.
