Troll, that may be true in Florida. It is not true in Alaska. With good reason. How often have you written a check and didn't get it into the mail so that the inner date and the postmark do not agree? Going by the inside date seems nonsensical to me.

I'd like to add, it should seem nonsensical to you too. Part of the time your stuff is cute, Troll- your comment about legend in one's own mind, June 1947, made me laugh out loud- but too much of the time your attitude reminds me of the Goldwater line "Deep down you know he's right..." Well deep down I knew he was not right.

I don't care if you don't agree with me but I resent your condescending manner to us all.

Now that I've got that off my chest, I'm prepared to like you again.
