Jumped on it? _Jumped_? I think you just broke my overreaction detector. **dba Fred** ’s link was broken. I fixed it with a reference to the original thread title:

That’s jumping on it? Egad. Get a grip.

By the way, did anyone let **dba Fred** know he’s the subject of this thread?  
(FTR, if anyone wants a mod to check the edit, it’s because I had some funky coding issues as well – nothing was modified.)
