    Since we’re PJM, not PBS, we try to keep things a bit informal here. ;)

    I’m reminded of what was said so long ago…..

    I think I understand what military fame is; to be killed on the field of battle and have your name misspelled in the newspapers. — William Tecumseh Sherman

    Fair enough. If you fall in combat during the Battle for Chattanooga, do you want it as Chuck or Charles in your obit? ;)
