When I ask people when it's ok to call and they say "any time" -- I
ask "Can (I know, it's may) I call at 0130?"  There's usually a
shocked response, and then we can get down to numbers.  Occasionally
someone says "Sure, no problem."

Assumptions can create lots of problems -- and do.  I assume that
everyone else's universe is just like mine.  Been burned a lot that
way, so I'm learning to check.  As my former wife said "When God made
you He broke the mold -- first."

Yours,
David
