George,

   I don't have a thing against that design. I just had this image in my mind that I had been thinking about, and had not had much time to mess with it to see if it would work, and how it would look. (my mind is funny that way, things don't always turn out the way I imagine them)
 Having a few days captive in the house, I fooled around with it and this was the result. Just threw it out there for everyone to see. Please don't take offense, I meant no disrespect.

Ben
