   Ooops. Allow me to _instantly_ apologize to Ed Pawlowski!   
      
   I sent the WRONG post, as I had reconsidered what I wrote and had NOT   
   intended to send that post (nor one I had written to Clare of similar ilk).   
      
   The problem was I had _expected_ Ed to be cynical, so I read into what he   
   wrote _more_ than what he actually said.   
      
   Which means I broke my own rule of making decisions based ONLY on facts.   
      
   I apologize.   
      
   Ed - correctly - said I won't know for sure until the kid has driven on the   
   tires for about 10,000 miles!   
      
   I apologize, openly, publicly, and honestly to Ed for misinterpreting what   
   he said.   
      
   What Ed said was entirely apropos.   
   o What I said, was not!   
      
   I apologize.
