Yes, I was a little annoyed at what was, to me at least, a rather extreme reaction to 
something that didn't seem like all that big of a deal.  An old aphorism regarding 
flies, honey, and vinegar comes to mind.

However, I'll have forgotten about it entirely soon enough.  I'm no grudge holder.  
Either that, or I have a bad case of adult ADD, I'm not sure which.  :)

I'll be clicking the box as often as I can remember to.  I trust that a small amount 
of slack can be extended should I forget every now and again.  But despite this minor 
inconvenience of an extra click, as I said before, I'm a creature of habit, and I'm 
not changing addresses on a couple of folks' say-so.

Understandable.  I'll try to be mindful of that, and make sure it comes through in 
text as often as possible.  And thanks for this message, BTW.  I appreciated it.
