Re: [PEN-L] query: class consumption function

Thanks for the encouragement. Wow, that article is a 'blast from the past' - it has been quite a while since I read it so I probably should pass on the question. But it is a very thought provoking question (and with the intoxication of encouragement)...so here goes. If I recall correctly, one
