Dear Conrad, Sorry. That was supposed to just be the set up for the punch line about checks and balanciers. It was intended as a pun, admittedly the lowest form of humor if the other guy thinks of it first. Of course, the list is no place for serious, personal topics.

I have a number of private posts, and have deleted MANY more, from denisons of this list and they run the gamut of topics. Kristinn, >Oh, ja, ja, keep forgetting. > >Actually I think it4s a good thing to keep domestic politics out of the >list, .... Yes, Kristinn, you are right. The historical temperment of this list, in order to retain a well ordered technical discourse, has been to refrain from political discussions which easily reverse a well-meant comment into a mean toned argument. Relationships built on this list could be shattered by political or religious comments. c Conrad Hoffsommer - mailto:hoffsoco@luther.edu You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted, then used against you.
