Hi Andre, [How do you get that little mark over your "e"? I don't mean to
ignore it but I don't know how to do it using Outlook Express. ]

Gary's response: Actually my style tends to be, or so I have been told,
verbose and repetitive. Hence the length of my essays! If you do not want
brevity I can give you more than "streams of assertions". I was not trying
to be obtuse by simply making those strings of assertions. I was just being
brief. If you want more, I will go back and explain in more detail. So,
shall we leave the matter with strings of assertions or shall we go back and
thoroughly analyze? It is your call.
The ever assertive,
Gary
