Don't be sorry at all. I definitely appreciated it immensely. I have just learned that if I ever have any uncertainty, it is really better just to bone up and ask the questions make assumptions that often come back to bite me. :-) I think however that I often don't word my emails very well. So, I can come across very poorly at times. If I ever do that just let me know because it isn't intentional.
Thanks again for clarifying,
-Todd
