Smith, you should officially adopt the word "obtuse" as your middle name.
This is a /public/ forum, and as such anything posted here is in the
public domain, and does not /require/ permission to reproduce.
I didn't ask Rex for permission because of anything to do with ownership
("steal first", LOL!), I asked because it's the /polite/ thing to do.
Is manners something else you don't understand, along with /morals/, or
is this just one of your diversionary tactics to avoid addressing Rex's
observations?
