Hi, Bob,

Not to belabour the point, but I'm also not sure where the Golden Ratio is found
in nature.  Trees, oceans, rocks, animals of all sorts, mountains, molecules,
atoms, sub-atomic particles;  I could go on, but I can't think of anything
"natural" that fits the Golden Ratio - unless what you're saying is that you can
impose such a rectangle over an object, and say that it therefore fits that
definition.

The Greeks had great imaginations (tell me that Ursus Major looks like a bear!),
and I don't mean to belittle what they contributed to Western thought and
philosophy, but I just don't see it (the Golden Ratio thing, that is).

cheers,
frank
