Outsiders

[David ilvedson]

With questions such as presented by Jon, I delete and move on.  
I don't have the time or interest to answer these questions and 
believe me it would take a bit of time to compose a well thought 
out answer.  Why re-invent the wheel?  There are books that 
will answer those questions for those who really want to know.

I do agree with Ron about the wealth of info that experts from 
other fields can bring to the list.
