Thanks for the clarification.

I can't find that page.

We're both old enough to remember when Kennedy beat Nixon, mostly
because Daley stole Illinois for him. And, strangely, Nixon let him get
away with it. Perhaps a harbinger of Nixon's attitude that all is legal
in politics. But that is OT. I found Rich's remarks amusing. 

I decided not to Opt-in. I might do so if the site did not demand my
e-mail address. I trust government agencies more than spammers, but
not much more.
