no, it wasn't. i was simply offering an example of a prior commitment that would surely supercede the BC. for me, the commitment is not being in NYC on weekends. for some, it might be church on sunday afternoon. or saturday afternoon for that matter. for others, maybe it's their weekly status meeting thursdays at 1 pm, in which case if BC was every thursday at noon, they could never go. you get the idea. I know, I know, I know. I just thought you were giving me shit for the church thing. Although you are very good with your usage of emoticons, and I should have known better. We are in agreement on the random scheduling, my friend. bigbear, Saturdays and Sundays are out for tommy. We want tommy.
