Hi Shari,

You made me laugh. Right-select and double-select. Pretty funny. I can't believe he let those stand. So glad to hear that he has other redeeming qualities.

One of my jobs went to select for everything because there could be multiple ways to select something. It mostly worked except for right-select and double-select. Our boss insisted we use those, but nobody was happy about it. Good news is that he was otherwise an excellent manager!
