Jim,
Wow! Thanks, big guy. That's a little different take than I'm 
used to. To date, the printing of my book is being held up by 
the continually changing content of the text. I don't seem to 
be able to type fast enough to keep up with the rate at which 
I obsolete what I thought I knew yesterday. I'm not sure what 
to do about that. Need more elbows (for typing), apparently, 
or less curiosity. The next scheduled seminar class is usually 
the closest approximation to my current state of awareness 
that I can produce in a nominally semi-coherent format. But 
shift happens fairly continuously, so the details are likely 
to drift. If I could decide what the heck it was I actually 
knew and stick with it, I might manage to make a buck.

Or not,
Ron N
