JC>I'm not sure I fully understand your point but will try to clarify.  The

    Dunno about Philippe, but as for me, I'm confused - sounds
like you said the same thing twice in a row. Gotta think about
this one some more. I'm not sure I could have figured this out
back when I had a complete mind. ;-)
