Thanks 2020, yeah, of course the godfather comment was meant with some degree of tongue-in-cheek humor. I did not pick up on any comment from you earlier in the thread that addressed the charitable aspect. So, I went back and looked and sure enough, I had misread a statement you made in that regard.
