(Please use Q.E.D. in your answer) Q.E.D. stands for the Latin phrase _quod erat demonstrandum_ which means “thus it is demonstrated.” IOW, it’s a fancy way to say “my post is my cite.” And the last threee, in order \*since I’m pressed for time): Blue, black, and sometimes grey. I’ll say what I say to all cheesy email survyes: “Go %^#% yourself.” 😛 The appendix! ---
