Perhaps. But I wasn't responding to only one post. I think I've seen enough for the question I posed to be a fair one.

cf. what Doug said.

P.S. Late yesterday I discovered that I had 26 posts with that weird subject line in my junk files. I read the ones by shag, by Michael S, & by ravi, which gave me a sampling of the maunderings of others. I guess there's nothing in them worth responding to. There's an old lawyer's joke: If the facts are against you, talk about law; if the law is against you, talk about the facts. If both the law and the facts are against you, talk about the opposing attorney.
