    Jeff:



    Thanks for the reply. I had to smile; I’d experienced a personal instance of 'failing to read the whole message' before responding to your first set of comments. After sneding the query, I happened to look again at your psots and relaized that the answers were clearly indicated. Thansk for your patience....my question to you was a 'flame-begger', for sure!

    In the slides you say 'like yours' but that implies that the boss’ company is not 'your' company, instead say 'like ours' provides for the understanding that the company is 'ours'

    Please note that these questions could have been answered if you refer to the slide on which they are given. Each comment has a slide number next to it.

    Thanks for the quick review and the helpful comments. Couple of questions for clarification:

    1. Could you point out the specific iinfringement?

    2. What does the statement 'like ours' refer to?



    As to the identification of my boss....here is a wonderful example of an image communicating more precisely then words.
