I'm going to quit this discussion, since you seem to have
some kind of snit to pick, and are hardly being rational.

One of the major things you do when you're having a
civil discussion is, when you don't understand something,
assume that the other person meant something reasonable
by it. You don't seem to be doing that. One example
(out of several that I'm not going to bother with) follows.

You don't see it in ***that*** pre-pep because it, quite
clearly, isn't in there. There also isn't anything in there that
says the Friday pre-pep replaces the previous one about
a money type either.

A reasonable, not to say charitable, interpretation of what
I said would have been to understand that I was refering
to the previous pre-pep, about the money type.

Bye.
