I know about the guidelines and rankings. I wasn't referring to that, I was just stating that, "Top" is a relative term.

A man standing on "Top" of the highest mountain says, "I am on top".
Then a plane flies overhead, out of the ear shoot of the man and the sole occupant, the pilot says, "I am on top".
Then the space station floats miles above the plane . . . .
"Top" is a relative term.

Sure lunch is still on if I can break away from Rudy for a few hours. :)
