9/13/2012 11:17:52 AM ET Thanks Joe. I wasn't offended just joking around. I only posted the second comment because someone was bound to call me out for seeing something that didn't exist because PA rarely points out what they changed when they change an article. It still amazes me that we are supposedly the greatest cyberspace force in the world but I can't post a question mark or slash on the AF website and my email account blows up after a couple of powerpoint slides hit my inbox.
