Bobbie,

I'm glad that we (you and I) can agree on some things. The lead
quote on my web site (www.hallrichard.com) is, "After all is
said and done, more is said than done." But why should we (the
listers) think that we can resolve anything by opinionating on
this list? Although discussions on this list can be and often
are worthwhile, they are a poor substitute for real science.
