Hi, Partick,
I agree that Max should keep batting. Also liked his new spare brevity.
Am I correct in assuming that it is NOT VB who pointed out the typo......but
rather his cat nemesis whose name is Shylock or Skyler or Simpleton or
something? No.....Asher! Is this why VB has disappeared from your scene?
Inquiring minds...............
I wish you would rename Asher to something more interesting like VB who is
defo more interesting than Asher who detects typos and prolly yawns a lot.
