    Ah, yes. Of course you would then have to add something to the effect
    that some may have failed the examination, and some lack the skills
    to pass the examinations. Absolute truth in advertising, buddy, is a

Grin... "absolute truth in advertising".....  not to open another can of 
worms... but I wonder how that applies to radically redesigned Steinways 
that are sold as Steinways.... because Steinways er... sell.   <G>.  Not 
that I am accusing anyone in particular mind you.
