First, I have to thank Paul Castell for providing me with this Incredible gem below, that in my wildest dreams, I could never come up with. But I also want to thank the List for having this discussion. I have though many of these same sentiments that are now being expressed, but just didn't think anyone wanted to hear my perspective. Glad I was wrong, glad in the "classic" sense mind you, but glad none-the-less. cheers,
