I don't know. I haven't finished processing your question yet so
I don't know how I'll respond to it. I could be wrong but I'll probably
finish processing the information in a few minutes and then we'll both
know what I have to say about the subject. On the other hand your 
question may be one of those where time does not seem to clarify 
matters and I suspect has sent my mind into an infinite look; if so I 
will do the healthy thing and ignore it and turn to other things.
