You are totally correct, I did read it completely wrongly. I stand corrected. No excuses from me. Now, why cant I see an edit (or delete) link to correct my mistake? Having realized I made that mistake, and that there for my comments are completely pointless and wrong, I want to edit in a note to acknowledge the fact. But I cant.
