 TH> You assume far too much of my question.

But, Todd, YOU asked the question.  So far three of us here have answered it 
pretty much the same way, yet YOU having asked the question, refuse to answer 
it, much less comment on it.  You don't see the problem here?

You pose the topic and then have nothing at all to say about it?  Now, please 
do the honest thing and answer the question you posed.

 TH> And it has. That's all.

Sure, Todd.  You don't see the problem with your course?
