Since I forgot where I left off I re-do one, since it's not quite perfect.... And so on, and so on.... Seriously, it takes me all day.

heheheh, and is this the pace you go with when litigating....and charge by the hour....
or do you ramp it up for that?
it is quite honorable you include Chas in your busy schedule though.
