Well, I'm now sorry that I did jump in sooner and give you, Cindy, my 
support on this "endurance labeling" business. You were stating my 
position very well and it seemed you were holding up under the stress 
of debating this topic back and forth, much like Truman who has 
weathered some barbs. You can certainly concede the floor and take a 
break but you have not lost the battle. Eventually we the members of 
AERC will get a chance to vote on a new label for LD and all this 
dialog will pay off. Your suggestion, back a few posts, of "Entry 
Level Endurance" would be my first choice. Thank you for the spirited 
debate, I was reading all of it and agreeing with you.
