David,

More disappointed at what?  I thought your remark was over the top.  If I 
was wrong in my interpretation and you want an apology...  I'm sorry.  I 
have no desire to argue with you.  I have no desire to prove you wrong.  I 
have no desire to prove I'm right.  I am often wrong, so again, I am sorry.

Marsha
