Patrick, heeheeHEE!!! Anyone suffering from the same malady evidenced in your lovely comment, ought to apply a liberal dose of <em>The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th Edition</em> and repeat as needed. ;o) OK, what's up with the netizens not using the comma when addressing people??? For example... The sentences <em>Welcome Kat and Tim to the Joshua Class.</em> and <em>Welcome, Kat and Tim (or Tim and Kat), to the Joshua Class.</em> do have two different meanings. As Strong Bad would say.... [shudder] [shudder] Ah, Kat, you would have loved the Advanced Grammar seminar I had recently.

It's a strike against the business, but if they do what they do very well, it's easy to forgive and forget. But it does color my view, initially.
