I agree. The LDS Church does not exclude the possibility of other gods, but for us we know there is but one God, the Father, and that we are to worship no other gods.
IF there are other gods, it does not concern us. That knowledge and faith will not save any man, as all men must come to the Father through the Son.
Note the the failure to exclude the possibility of other gods does not alter our first article of faith - that we believe in God the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost. That is it.

Talking out of both sides of your mouth tortdog. You sound like a lawyer. Oh, wait a minute, I forgot—you are one.
“IF there are other gods, it does not concern us.”
Well, when your missionary friends come to my door each year, and sit in my living room sipping glasses of ice water (I don’t offer caffeinated or alcoholic beverages to them), they acknowledge that your god had his own god, so there isn’t any “if” there.
But they do say that his god, and all the other gods, don’t concern members of the LDS.
However, that’s not monotheism. It’s henotheism, the belief that one must worship only one god of all the gods that exist.
The God of Christianity is Supreme, uncreated, Creator ex nihilio, without beginning, without any initial “organization,” elevation or exaltation from another state, without peer or superior. He is the Divinity, He is the Uncreated Creator of all, all else is non-divine, all else is created.
The god of the LDS and the God of Christianity are ontologically different beings. One of these beings, the god of the LDS, is part and parcel of creation itself, merely an exalted part of the universe, but not fundamentally transcendent. The other being, the God of Christianity, is Lord of all that is, Creator of all that is, transcendent, unchanging, eternal.
