[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 772543, member: 7398"] Read the post again . . . Notice I passed along my condolences. It's regrettable that he had to do it, though honorable that he did. Also notice I used the phrase "taking one for the team". It's a euphemism suggesting he was sacrificial in his giving such that the rest of us, "the team" as it were, would be better off. This saying is used frequently in sports such as when a hitter offers a "sacrifice fly" in order to place another runner in better scoring position. Still, it stinks for him at multiple levels as I detailed in the original post - which is unfortunate for someone (the donor - the hitter of the sacrifice fly, etc) who generously gives what they have for the betterment of the breed. Sorry to have gotten your panties in a bunch when we were saying the same thing. [/QUOTE]
