To use the oft given advice of yourself (when it suits your argument), is there any reason this was not emailed direct to Randy, or more productively still, posted to him as a question on the Moderators Forum which is there precisely for this kind of question?

Seems to be of no business to anyone else on FT except those parties?

Seeing you are NOT a moderator on that Forum, it seems to me your thread is even more bizarre. And for you to be self-proclaiming it as "constructive" gets the belly laugh of the week from me.
