Accepted, Michael. Words are a tricky thing on internet forums. Subjective content can be lost or imparted depending on the mindset of the reader. I have no animosity for Darryl Futrell, and if my remarks came off as antgonistic, I sincerely apologize. I know that feelings grow when one invests a great portion of one's life to an idea or concept; and it enrages some that a stretch tektite thrower like me tosses one in attempt to demolish a longstanding theory. Science is science, and we are people debating. Emotions get hot, but we remain friends. Steve Schoner. (I hate this UNIX type server) On Sun, 08 July 2001, Michael Blood wrote:
