   Brian, would you prefer that I reply to what you're saying here, or   
   would that just split the thread into confusion and should I wait until   
   you're ready to answer one of my other posts?  I'm inclined to wait,   
   myself, but if you think this is the more interesting/important   
   subthread I can drop the other and pick up here instead.
