YXnot,
Thank you for posting your own commentary with Bedford's letter. I really mean that. It was much less infuriating to be able to catch my breath while reading your counterpoints. I'm not looking forward to a career at Republic, but I would like to work there just for the chance to meet Bedford some day, so that I can ask him; "what would Jesus have done?" Then I can quit in peace, and on my terms.
Peace
