[Lon Howard]

Thanks Doreen,

I'm guessing Andy also realized this, but probably concluded that you  
can get over-nitpicky sometimes.  Since the public usually doesn't  
know what actually happened behind the scenes, in some cases I'm  
guessing (I do a lot of that...) NSK can choose to call it whichever  
they please.
