To all of you who have been asking for this thread to quit.

Looking back at my reactions to the various postings in the history of this
thread I found the
"can we stop now??" messages amoung the most disturbing.

For as the great Denys himself has writen:
| it long ago came to my attention that
| threads, no matter how off topic they may be, are usually very
interesting.
|  I would venture to say this thread has enlightened many people on this
| list.  The volume of private mail which I have received is witness to
that.
|  I have spent an inordinate amount of time on this thread, but I do not
| really mind.  I learned stuff, and I know a lot of other people did as
| well.

Amen.
