Okay, I'll write it up.  Two earlier efforts many years ago were not satisfactory;
one, in the Venturist, was so terse and abbriviated that it was very hard to 
follow.  The second I tried to embed in an SF story, but never finished it.

So I'll put it in a new thread.  Thanks for your interest, and it's true that you
and I agree enough that you won't choke at the first few assumptions I make
in it.
