Don't call someone a "whore" and accuse him of unethical behavior if you don't want that person to point out that you've called him a whore and accused him of unethical behavior. I shouldn't have to explain this to you.

Figured you'd feel it necessary to take a shot at me.  Just can't help yourself, can you.   Congrats.  That in fact makes you part of the union.

Thanks so much, Barrett.
