Thanks Greg,

This is a word I'll likely use in the future. It's not only the
research but the threads that are discussed. We exhaust a
thread, though usually not resolving it-but possibly adding or
subtracting information- then move on. A few years later a new
batch of interested subscribers get on the thread [as if it was
new] and ask the same questions all ready argued and answered
some years before.

Sometimes its easier to find a smaller boulder and a hill not so
great in height.

Best,
