Understanding of CC, beyond its existence, seems a futile thing to worry about, unless you're really into understanding things for their own sake. As forthe rest, I'll take MMY's claim about floating and Unity as valid: answering "can you float?" with a "yes" is a sine qua non for rightfully claiming Unity. Note that MMY has NEVER claimed Unity, BTW. ------------------------ Yahoo!
