Gladly--the next time around, Max. Unless that form of the possessive is requested, though, my preference in writing is for the possessive without the apostrophe-s. But of course, when pronouncing that name, I always make sure to enunciate that apostrophe-s.

If you pronounce the pos s, why do you not write it?
