Thanks. So my assumption that SMS would lead by example when it comes to embracing logic because he is a forum Moderator is an Ecological fallacy. *Feeling enlightened*

Thanks for that. I plan on printing multiple copies and distributing them to the "chosen ones" at my workplace. Also intend to put one in every meeting room in my office... for now I put one up in my cubicle.
