I didn't mean to correct you specifically. I was just continuing the discussion. When I googled it originally, all I came up with was Department of Revenue.

I got the same link - but using "DOR" without the periods. In any case, thanks. :-)

No problem. I was stumped and was going to ask you to explain until Ann mentioned the phrase from An Officer and A Gentlemen.

Very clever, BTW.
