Quite right, my fault. Mr. Royce, please take it back to a talk page and I 
promise to participate there. I never saw the original conversation, but 
I'll head there if you privately email me with the talk page that you're 
using. I hope others will do the same and join us on the talk page so that 
this topic can be removed from this list.
