Judy:
That, Veronica, is a polite, lengthy and boring way of saying, get a
grip.
Thanks. Sorry that I got mixed up re names the way you and Robert did. My
issue though isn't so much their names as it is that the interpretation of

which reader thought which author wrote it. I am definitely trying to get
a grip.
Thanks for the information.
Veronica
