Amen to that. The self control you demonstrated in a situation when I would be tempted to physically remove my partner's head from his shoulders is amazing.
And it sucks, Rich, that you got dumped on the first time you tried to talk about this situation, and again this time.
That's one of the things I really don't like about this board sometimes (and I do it too...I'm trying to improve), is the unintentional game of "gotcha" that we all get into from time to time, trying to find something relatively unrelated to nitpick (oh, your count was slow....which it wasn't) while ignoring the larger message (you got rolled over by a Mac truck...what can we all learn from this situation) in an effort to make ourselves look better, smarter or more experienced. I wish we all did a little less of it, or at least approached it in a much less condescending way.
