Thanks for the belly laugh. I rest my case.

If there's overcomer's there's undergoer's, or some such. Overcomer's are more given, undergoer's, not so much.

Your statement, "it might look high for someone who is in a very poor condition," proves my point.

Thanks for your good hearted reply bro Mr. E.
