    why did this only come to light in post #29?
    If the OP had given this most salient of facts up front this thread may well have gone much better, and come to a close much sooner.
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....

    The possibility came up in post #4. Either way it wouldn't have mattered if people answered questions more factually and less emotionally.

    When someone says they don't want something it implies they have made a conscience decision to refuse it by choice.
    I stand by that what I said about it being a stupid choice was originally correct based on how the first post was written.
    If they had said "I can't have" or "I may not get" I would have answered differently.
