The argument from horos22 is too nonsensical and whiny. I deeply suspect that horos22 ("Ed") is up to something and trying to make it seem reasonable, plus he's been going on and on and on about how horrible the answer is instead of dealing with the answer. What is horos22 really after? Inquiring minds want to know. It just doesn't seem from here like horos22 is doing something proper and aboveboard; rather it appears that he's up to something shady and dishonest. -- Lew Honi soit qui mal y pense. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cf/Friz.jpg
