Reading my response to Chandos, I might have been uncareful in phrasing it.
Does changing the "But" in "And" makes it clearer that I undoubtedly
presumed everybody was talking about the same business? And certainly not
about the seemingly despicable other Ritz thing?
The "But" was there because Chandos' "Scottsdale" didn't sound the same as
"Phoenix, Arizona". But maybe that is just because I'm not that aware of the
geography of the US.
Anyway, I still prefer to have messages going back and forth about such
items than about other (more forum destinated) ones.
Also, add some big positive smileys to this message plz.
