Hi Ren -- I concur on aesthetic grounds when it comes to A's.

Cheers! Thank your lucky stars you don’t work with me. Those poor bastards have to deal with me 8 hours a day. Hah. Glad you're here Mattski to keep us alert. Because I don't know where I stored my copy of E.B. White's "Elements Of Style" with which I suspect you have familiarity. |
