Ya know Steve, I was just re-reading this and I sincerely hope you took my comment as compliment regarding your perfectionist side and an affirmation of your highly trained brain :mrgreen:

It was definitely NOT a dig re: missed or forgotten details...just sayin'... :wink:

Not to worry Rob. That comment about my brain, was a reference to a scene from Hitch-hikers Guide To The Galaxy and basically, self ridicule.

The story goes......
Some philosophers build a super intelligent computer and ask it "what is the meaning of life?" After years of computation it comes back with the answer of 42. Puzzled, they explain away their inability to understand the answer, by assuming that their brains are obviously too highly trained to grasp its meaning.
......

I totally missed the meaning behind Ron's statement further back. It flew straight over my head. Of course, once explained it was obvious and an example I think, of me overthinking something. If we were having this conversation face to face I doubt there would be any ambiguity. Body language, accent and attitude would be obvious and meaning would be self evident.

Stay safe guys and, peace.

Steve.

Oh. By the way...

Nah! Just kidding. :wink:

Rob this explains so much!!!! I’ve been operating for 34 years thinking the answer was 32! Obviously I forgot to carry the one. I blame it on my American education 🤣
Let the potato rest for 5 minutes.
