PS. TOOT JUST HAPPENS TO BE A COMMON FILIPINO SURNAME BTW.
I’ll ask a Filipina friend about that, too.
ANother point about distruptors - I am sure most people view them as ads in the middle of a TV show - you mute ‘em, fast forward, or go to the fridge for something to eat or to the bathroom to pee.
I only had a TV for a couple of years, happened to catch some Clinton hearings, but I remember the protocol.
Not that the research is like a TV show - but it’s the real stuff, and the disrupting comments are like junk mail that gets tossed without opening.
