It's by talking out things like this that we all learn something. There were probably some users of CFTW that didn't know they could edit the Events to do things like change verbs, etc. Please, we went through a similar thread about a week ago and I said at that time that we do not need to stifle discussion. Just remember that what seems like "noise about nothing" to some, may be an important bit of information to others, and, although we CAN edit Events, sometimes these discussions helps Ira in writing upgrades.
