Julie, while I appreciate your efforts at convincing our kind leader here to change his mind, you're not going to make any headway. And, for the record, one of the reasons that Luke has trouble explaining things is because he has Asperger's Syndrome, a form of Autism and a disorder primarily affecting communication and social skills. I have Asperger's as well, and so I can appreciate how it sometimes renders one speechless, or forces one to use the wrong words for things -- often at a sensitive time.

It's unbelievably frustrating.

In the meantime, since the metaphorical horse is very dead at this point, perhaps you should stop beating it. I'm sorry if I sound crass -- but you've voiced your opinion quite thoroughly at this point. I don't see much purpose in continuing to do so -- for sure there's no confusion as to your position. Your opinion matters, and it was heard -- that's all you need to do. That's all you really /can/ do -- and that should be obvious by now. You're not going to win anything (even an argument) by persisting, and it's not really your job to do so anyways. Luke is the one who makes the decisions. He's done that -- he's made his decision. That's basically all there is to it. All you are doing now is making noise, and it hurts my head and I'd like it to stop before I have to reach for the bottle of ibuprofen.

Luke's made his bed, for better or worse. Let him lie in it. Quietly. You are thanked in advance.
