Luke and others -
Thanks for the correction on repeating a myth. That's what I get for not
critically thinking about one of the many "facts" learned from childhood.
Then again, if I hadn't made the gaffe, I would've probably carried the
mistake to my grave, misleading bunches along the way.
I learned something, and am better for it. Cool. :)
Tim, now plotting the demise of all my grade-school teachers who drilled
this into me. <evil grin> (just kidding... ;)
