BigBlock - I'm old too. I think I gotcha' pegged. You are entitled to your opinions. You're entitled to write just about anything you want.
I have no intention of chastising you. It would be a waste of your time and mine. I would just quickly mention that last time I checked, most of the peeps with a "British Accent" were our allies.
My Grandpa was WW I vet - 32nd Red Arrow.
My Mom was a WW II WAVE, my Dad served in the Pacific.
I too thank you for your service.
Marcus - thanks for taking this one personally.
Demonstrates a lot about you and your org.
