Well said Bill!

Tom Sherman used to be better about posting context, but lately he likes
to 
edit so as to make himself look good and everyone else look bad. It is a 
sign of a deteriorating ego and of a self image gone to hell. I fear he is

getting old before his time.

If in doubt as to how to edit, just include everything. You cannot go far 
wrong by doing that. The fact is that there is not one person in a
thousand 
who knows how to edit sensibly. It takes brains to be able to do that.
