hey, panzade ... remiss of me not to have mentioned it before - kudos for a fine, poignant, perceptive, pointed, and, IMHO, pretty much on-the-point essay, there. Only excuse I've got for not acknowledging - and lauding - it earlier is that I've been site-wise sorta otherly occupied here just of late. And mind you, I acknowledge that's a lame excuse, but its all I've got to offer, so its gonna hafta do
:wink:
