Geez Georg.  I am terribly sorry you are so upset over this.  I really
apologize.

#1.) I don't have e-mail at work.  Only the internet.

#2.) While I was pleased to get info from anyone, Hyatt was the only one I
*really* knew, who actually knows Tony.  That's why I directed the question at
him, however, appreciated any responses.

#3.) I was in a huge hurry.  The topic should have been "Question to Hyatt", but
it ended up being just "Hyatt" in my rush.


In the States, it's pretty common to call someone by their last name.  *Very*
common.

While I don't understand why this deserves another thread, or why this could not
be e-mailed, I am very sorry to anyone I have offended.  That was not my intent.
