Yeah that works for me ^^^ @ what Josie said. Pete would've been in the background and not had much to say, anyway, since he was trying to maintain a covert presence.
Basically, I missed the boat here (ha ha pun) and missed any locked posts (too many log-in hops on the wrongs friend pages between running around all day & was answering posts via e-mail notification links to respond), and so didn't really know this was going to happen.
For that, I kinda owe everyone an apology. My toon was just doing what he thought was best given the situation, even if the situation had apparently already been handled. I'm actually pretty massively embarrassed it went as far as it did.
