Like you, Tim has been ill, way too busy, and is having major email problems
too.  I'll let you know where he stands once he's caught up enough that he
thinks he knows himself.

I have more sympathy for John's technical approach than he'll ever know.
His approach to "persuasion" does drive me batty, though -- takes a long
time to digest one of his posts, and in the end trying to extract a concrete
suggestion is like pulling teeth (something I've also had too much
experience with lately <drool>).  Reminds me of this justly famous line from
the 1979 Preface to G. Spencer-Brown's odd little "Laws of Form":

    I did not think then, having given the world the method, that I
    should eventually be required to apply it to the problem myself.

11. Point #10 is no longer operative; however, there is no point #11.
