Hello Carol - unlike the ActiveRain blog roll, I check the Q&A section less regularly.  Learning is always a possibility.

Good morning, Michael Jacobs 
Learning is definitely always a possibility... even likely.

Carol Williams - that can certainly be discussed.  And it can even be debated.  Perhaps politely.  Is perchance a perfect word choice?  Hmm - still pondering.  Happy Saturday.
