    Hunter, I think you should really just let this drop.
    Given your history with SWIFT it looks as if you have an axe to grind here.

    If I have the choice of going around the block, I will do that instead. But if it is safe and legal to make a u-turn, I have before and I will again.

    MT,

    I have no axe to grind at all towards Swift. Yes my history with Swift was not best nor my worst. If a Swifty did something good or lended me a hand like one did, the proper people will know. I just wanted some information and this thread got out of hand with my own opinions.
