[Tim] This was really nice. Again, thanks. I don't know how much you were looking for a real answer to this question about 'unique' and 'assumption', so I'll just say that I this is why I have (and I think this is why John has too) come to re-institute a word like faithe into my vocabulary. Let me know if you want more here. But, I think that I have picked up on a pattern, not to say that it is strict or anything, but I think you enjoy short responses aiming at one highest quality point. Therefore, my question here: you like that '[your] position keeps going poof', don't you!?
