OMG - This is hilarious Bob !! Too many funny lines to even mention but I like this one - "I think we have to keep him back pre 400 AD". And thanks Steve for your bold approach - may be this will start a new trend. However Bob - this response may be a tad too long for Steve, he just asked for the main points and you just got really carried away - very typical of being the loquacious MZ's agent.
