I agree, in all cases except for Doug's. (example of "for every rule
there is an exception, including this rule").
For example... he always brings his lovely wife, good booze and good
stories when he comes do dinner... and I'm holding him to all three.
Though I appreciate your holding out for the possibility that I will one
day master the art of succinct responses.

Steve,
Why presuppose that the question is anything but a question?
Is this a rhetorical question? (begin recursion)
We *are* talking about Doug here, aren't we? <grin>.
Doug who attributes the clever use of "Big Bold Naivete" to yourself
uses it himself in his own special version of the Socratic (the most
famous western philosopher of all?) method. Admirals and directors of
National Laboratories and Google Executives have been brought to their
knees by his methods. What makes you think he can't bring all of
FRIAM down as easily?
Oh... also, deliberately misunderstanding Doug provides me with a
never ending opportunity to rattle on open ended about anything I feel
like.
