Hi Count, There was no disrespect meant or implied in my comment about the pictures Martin posted. When confronted with an image that has no accompanying contextual message or association, the human mind tries to figure things-out as best it can. I believe it was "Carnac the Magnificent" who responded to the answer of the question, A: Chariots of the Gods, with the question: What were the only things allowed to move on Sunday in Ancient Persia? It appears you guys take yourselves extremely seriously. I can't help but wonder what the late, Great Jonny Carson might have thought about your apparent lack of humor.
