    Makes sense.
    I recall how there have been times I'll see something at the store and
    think I might try that. And a few days later thinking I should have
    whatever that was, only to learn I had looked at the product but didn't
    buy it. :)

    The tricks the brain can play on one... I suppose it's probably better
    to not buy it and think you had, than to buy it and forget you had (and
    find it ages later, totally nasty)... <G>
