Thank You, Thank You Kelmych! <face-palming myself> Of course, You are exactly right: I turned off Fallout 3 Revisited (and the Blackened patch) and voila! no more exclams! I must have screwed something up during my install of F3R... Very much appreciated. Woo Hoo! I'll be able to play it now! Also, let me once again add my thanks for your excellent guide. Never having played Fallout 3 before, I would not have known where to begin setting up the game in MO without your guide! (and now after hundreds of hours in Skyrim and FNV, I am very accustomed to using MO with many mods.) It's obvious that you have put lots of hard work into it (and continue to do so) so please know that we appreciate it!
