I also hope we can resolve fence line v fenceline and pipeline v pipe line.

The guys I worked for at Shell Oil many years back could never agree on pipeline. One Shell company was pipeline and one was pipe line??? go figure

More trivia you probably didn't need....|-)

1st year college was in a class called Plane Surveying. From the viewpoint that the world was surveyed as a flat object.

Dave...

Then I won't even ask if it's "I've said my piece" -OR- "I've said my peace"
