Bill,
I don't know the truth in this situation, however I want to compliment you in your response to Carol's post. All too often I read people respond with name calling, being whiney, or thinking "How dare you say that? I know better." You stated your facts as you see it, but are smart enough to admit that perhaps you yourself may be in error and have asked for corrections if needed. How refreshing!
