Hi Stephen, I see from your dissection of my recent essay that it is in your nature to be extremely thorough - to leave no stone unturned. I must confess that I have taken advantage of your predilection to be thorough on at least one occasion, such as when I asked the Vort membership questions on whether there might exist integrated calculus-like formulas that describe certain fundamental celestial mechanics simulations, particularly the classic square of the distance force as experienced between a planet and a satellite. I only know of iterative differential equations, and I've pounded hell out of my PC with gazillions of iterations in the pursuit of my personal research into this obscure branch of study. BTW, thanks for your input on that CM matter! It helped me focus on what I needed to do. ;-) And now, in regards to my recent account: We are all free to speculate as to the meaning behind what I have every reason to believe was a true account, at least as experienced by Jimmy. It isn't important what I believe or personally conclude was the "divine" meaning behind this incident, and I deliberately left much of my personal conclusions out of the matter, as much as possible. What's important is what everyone else takes from the experience. It's not my job to mold the conclusions other choose to make of such accounts. So, ponder away! I certainly have! ;-) PS: I realize my response might seem inadequate or unsatisfactory...leaving many stones unturned. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
