Your bilious editorializing aside, the answer is no.

Your interruption aside, I didn't ask you... psycho.

I figured you were busy enough, still trying to develop some period refutation of the Virginia ratification or evidence of Lee's incompetence in planning the 7 Days battle.

No refutation is needed, period or otherwise. The Virginia ratification could have included an assertion that the moon was made of green cheese for all the binding effect it would have on the rest of the States. Only a document signed by ALL the parties, is binding upon them all. That document was the U.S. Constitution, NOT the Virginia ratification.

..or evidence of Lee's incompetence in planning the 7 Days battle.

No, I was waiting for you to describe Lee's brilliance as a tactician during those battles, perhaps informing us in which battle you felt Lee particularly excelled. Instead I find you're shifting your position on Lee from brilliant tactical commander to competent battle planner without too much input from my side. Why you retreat almost as well as ol Granny himself [lol].
