After furious head scratching, Ron B. asked:
| Excretable? I must have gone to wrong college. At my college,
| excretable means something entirely different. You are talking way
| over my pay grade.
|
| Think of me as a regular person and not some guru. Say what you just
| said in regular people words. How do I use a "REAL" news reader? And
| where do I get it. Work with me here. Remember I apparently went to
| the wrong college, Milly Staples MVP.
