thanks Chuck, just sent you a note with the info.

Glad your VX got off easy: not even community service.
I'll keep your warning in mind, but feel confident enough in my VX as it's gotten used to being "fangless", and can control itself for the most part.
Plus, it's unlikely that it will be pissed off at the Aztec comparison for the simple reason that there are almost no Aztecs in NY, and people know about them just as much as they do about the VXs.
