Sorry, but I consider some of the material appearing in the past 10-12 days to be not much more than tripe. I don't need my mailbox filling up with it. For this reason, I'm withdrawing from this list. Maybe I'll be back in a couple of months, maybe not. To Marilyn Owen, a public thank you for the help you've given me personally, off the list. To Tom King and Bill Breedlove, thanks for the discussions I've been able to monitor through the list; very interesting indeed. Tom Breedlove
