@w7voa When you're failing, double down and fail harder.
@chris No, I'm sorry for grumping at you. Having a bad moment for other reasons.
@chris Tried clicking that link and before I could even read what it was, it blocked what I was trying to read with a pop-up. Doesn't sound like they want referral business.
