Which I take must be the issue since the OP about pulling a rope is already a left-turn back at Clarksville.

I wonder if MR knew the answr an was just givin us "busy work"  Smile

Oh, he does with much of what he asks about. He's just trying to stimulate a discussion during those times.  You gotta giggle a bit when some responders come-up and react with: "Surely you could find that out yourself..."

I get like that with a lot of things, it's a great way of learning a lot of stuff.  The only problem however is it actually being of any relevance or usefulness at a later point in time and that is purely *if* you haven't tangented miles away through umpteen degree's of separation from what you were initially investigating.

I didnt like studyin at school an did only what was necessray to keep a respectable "C" average... an yes its easy to get sidetracked wit so much interestin stuff just a click away... but most of the stuff i research is to satisfy immediate quriosity wit no pressure to remember any of it... so i just enjoy.!!!
