Actually, in the last big storm here (FEB 2011) they suspended mail delivery for a day (maybe two?). Which was fine, most everything was shut down, and having more delivery vehicles on the street would have just been in the way of the clean-up. I'm pretty sure the other deliveries were postponed as well. But they really ought to change their motto about snow, sleet and all.
Wait a minute...

The United States Postal Service has no official creed or motto.[1]
An inscription on the James Farley Post Office in New York City reads:
Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.[1]

OK, maybe they need to take a chisel and hammer and do a bit of editing

Now I understand, that makes no sense whatsoever...ALL revenues and ALL expenses are shown.
I stand by my content. But I realized late yesterday afternoon that I was just in a bad mood, winter cabin fever I suppose. For that I apologize.

I'd accept that apology, but the attitude seems to be continued even in the same post that you are 'apologizing' in. Maybe you do need to get out of the house?

Yes, you got it EXACTLY. I can't imagine why you would question me on this. I guess I need to paint you a picture...
I was working on a project and I had to monitor an adhesive - I needed it to set to
just the right point where it was sticky, but not cured. It was time to check on it and finish the project if it was ready, and I was about to get up from my computer to do so. I really did not want to take the time to post
anything, but when I saw that 'fairness' thing slip in, and saw it might be tied back to my comments, I wanted to quickly clarify my comment, and hopefully not come back to a closed thread.
So I took the time to do that, but I did not want to take the added time to try to analyze and interpolate values from the scale on those graphs. It's not something I could do and respond to in seconds (I'm slow I guess), and I already was overtime on checking my project.
There, was that really necessary?
If any of my follow-up comments indicate I misunderstood something in those graphs or anything else, or misspoke, please correct me on a factual basis. I'm here to learn, and I sure could have got it wrong, and would appreciate any insights. Thanks.
