The link I posted was a lengthy Chicago tribune story, I read it on the train to work. I won’t be making any comments about the case, I’m putting it out of my life.

Kudos to **dalej42** for his attitude about the whole episode. Nothing we like better around here than when a poster understands what the problem is/was and corrects it.

**Moderator Action**

Since this has been pretty well resolved, I am going to close this before some folk’s snippy comments get them into trouble.
