    Hi David M & Sam,

    The block quote you are referring to is my words, not Sam's, and I'd
    be the first to own up to it not being a coherent case (yet), but you
    get the essential point.

    Glad you agree - sometimes I feel I'm ploughing a lonely furrow on MD.

    Which specific last bit didn't you get - the whole block generally or
    the final sentence in particular ? I'd like to enlighten if I can.

    Ian
