I wouldn't sweat it, Paul.  Most of us listers can *see* that that's what 
you're doing, and one particular person is splitting hairs to fabricate 
these suggestions (as typical) about what he seems to think is your 
"misreading" (which is unfortunate, considering how inviting he is to 
listers to post on the list).  I guess this hair-splitting constitutes the 
"distractions" of which he speaks.

A question to all:  When do we move on to . . . um, page 8?
