If I could promote this, I would. You are my hero.

How had I not heard of that?!

No worries. I rather enjoyed watching my random post turn into a linguistic battle ground.

It would indeed and yes, he is. Also, thank you.

I was about to post that exact same link. Isn't that ironic!

Does any one else find it ironic that the letters "HBO" are in the acronym for the product?
