Tom's a good guy. How this went from a simple poll question to a statement
about someone's professionalism is beyond me. It was okay making fun of the
question, let's not degrade to personal attacks. You really need to take
life a lot less serious.

BTW...Otter Creek Copper or Long Trail Amber are my beers of choice right
now...and I'm a bottle baby.
