Jerry R., List: Although you certainly have some very worthwhile things to say here at times, how you go about it--whether intentional, or just a reflection of your peculiar way of thinking and expressing yourself--is all too often rather difficult for me to follow. As a result, it has unfortunately been my personal experience that only a relatively small minority of your posts ultimately "reduce confusion." This is not one of them.
