And there we can let it rest. I leave you to your own research, then!

Sorry - I need to clarify that I accidentally deleted a 'no' before 'view' 
during editing. I really do hold no view on how this came about because I 
don't have enough information. But I agree with you about Christopher 
Franke's talent (I bought enough of the B5 soundtrack CDs to prove that 
point!). So I merely state my observations, and my puzzlement.
