<DIV><FONT size=4>I just found out that bit of protocol on Sunday. I really think we need a "class" on how to recognize each brass hat and what "level" they are. I know only a certain level of brass hatness can wear pearls. Some have what I've heard referred to as strawberry leaves. Then there are points and no points. Each one has a different way to address them and I'm still confused as I really need an example of each "hat" sitting next to each other to see the difference. Hopefully I'm not the only one confused. Oh and then there are the ones that have "personal" things on them such as a bear or wolf or whatever.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>You're welcome, Runa. It will keep Them for getting growled at by others for "usurping" a title. Can you imagine? Sounds ridiculous I know, but believe me, it not only could happen, it would happen. I just hope it is understood that this was done to help, not snark.<BR></DIV>
