Beacher… _you_ know I know this. Of _course_ that’s what I should do. I’m just checking out my options for when I _don’t_ do that. 😃

I think it was actually _5 units_ and not .5. This occurred before I had coffee, and it honestly could’ve said anything between .5 and 50, and it wouldn’t have meant anything different. 😃

And just so you get a feeling for what kind of person you’re working with (I’m talking about me), I asked this question at least 2 hours ago— and still haven’t changed it. It’s annoying even to me. 😃
