Jerry, Don't take this List so seriously. It will probably live outlive most of us. Life is too short to be perpetually anal. Just a personal curiosity. I noticed your email address is "habitatforhorses". What on earth is that all about? Do you travel the country building homes for horses? Are you the horse version of Jimmy Carter? Just wondered.
