Hmm I do not understand, maybe it is me who is wrong, anyway I just had not the feeling that this thread got repeating, yes ok Tom might have made his point twice, but he was talking to different people and I think that is quite ok, now you could make your point again too, right? Please note especially that Tom and myself have given in to the majority POV -- so there will be no RCR I guess -- but that does not imply that we feel wrong about our POV and can keep explaining it. Ok enough said on this issue from my part. Robert -- [...] as simple as possible, but no simpler. -- Attributed to Albert Einstein
