   Hi Eli   
      
   ok ... it did occur to me to cross-post due to the content   
   but didn't and didn't want to post to alt.test   
      
   this is a test of me posting from thunderbird direct to the   
   ng instead of logging into google (to see if they mess it up)   
      
   from the above figure i derived/re-created roughly what i   
   was originally searching for but couldn't find (or missed)
