But do they work? Do > they do anything at all? This statement says *nothing* > about that. Obviously, Mr. Lawrence is expressing reservations. It seems to me that expressing doubt under the current circumstances is a perfectly reasonable conclusion, considering all the obfuscation going on. As for me, there comes a time when the curious have no choice but to either trust (or NOT trust) the judgment of another individual. In this case, the individual I am referring to is Jed Rothwell. For individuals like MY, or perhaps even Mr. Cude, who are still relatively new to Vortex... if such individuals have not been around long enough to acquire a decent assessment of Mr. Rothwell's desire to not be bamboozled by claims of here-say, dismissing Mr. Rothwell's current assessment is perfectly understandable. OTOH, if one has acquired a few years of experience listening to Mr. Rothwell rant on about this or that issue, all I can say is that I've learned to trust Jed's judgment on a number of things. I may occasionally disagree with the fiddledebits, but that does not mean I don't trust Jed's sincerity to get and disseminate the facts as clearly as he can. Therefore, under the circumstances, I guess my impression of DGT has gone up a few more notches. I also hope Stremmenos, Rossi, and DGT can eventually work out their disagreements. Of course, I'm always free to change my assessment of the principal actors of this fascinating drama should more facts surface warranting a change. We should always be free to change our assessment & opinions. None of us should feel honor-bound by ego or stubbornness to go down with the sinking ship. Thanks for the update and your personal assessment, Jed. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
