 I never got that copy, which is why I was objecting.

 These are fairly simple changes.  I sent something that worked so  
 that he could test it.  I don't assume this stuff would be accepted  
 unchanged.
 
 I'm highly amused that I would be asked to make some changes, when  
 the request for said changes requires more typing than making the  
 changes.  This is what, 41 characters different?
