Your opinion is always important, it's just that when it's top-posted it 
wrecks the flow of the dialog for posterity's sake. Just consider this 
list to be a text manual, perpetually-in-the-making, The Answer, or 
added questions to qualify the original Question, or Opinion, follows 
the original Question. Then the novice can follow the logic, starting at 
"A" and finally arriving to the "Z", the Ultimate Problem solving Answer.

Of course the Austrialians on this list have no problem, as they are 
upside down to start with! :) Ric
