forgive than others. If you unearth one as a result of detailed and
time-consuming research, especially of </span>formerly inaccessible resources, it's easier to understand
why it was not discovered earlier. But what is unforgivable in the internet age
(and I hope, more rare) is something that could easily be discovered by googling
and assessing the results. And if the research is inconclusive, say so. Unfortunately,
some writers are tempted to use the more definite ‘is’ in preference to the
more accurate ‘might be’. </div><div class="qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515596545629_13464"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515596545629_13463" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: verdana, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515596545629_13462"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, Sans-Serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515596545629_13461"> <div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515596545629_13501"> <font size="2" face="Arial" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515596545629_13502"> <hr size="1" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515596545629_13709"> <b id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515596545629_14009"><span style="font-weight:bold;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515596545629_14008">From:</span></b> Mark Hussey <mhussey@verizon.net><br> <b id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515596545629_13985"><span style="font-weight: bold;" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1515596545629_13984">To:</span></b> 'Sarah M.
