I didn't see it as a flame, but I understand why Dave might.  My mother is
British, so I have an unfortunate tendency (for an American) to use British
English - colourful spelling, etc. :-)  I've been dinged for it by several
English teachers ("You're an American, use American spelling!") but old
habits die hard!  In British English, large organisations are plural (The
Government have announced...) and I wasn't thinking about the grammar when I
wrote it.

Personally, I don't mind even a grammar review in this context, because if
one person can misunderstand it, so can others.  The way I see it, I asked
for help and I got it.  Our next go round might go smoother because of this,
eh?

Thanks for the suggestions; I'm working them into version 2 right now!

Warm regards,

Buck Calabro
