The initial thread post was not relevant to the purpose of my post, which was intended to clarify meaning of the thread post I replied to standing alone. Critical in my post is it was addressing exclusively the content of the replied to post. I wasn't writing exclusively for the benefit the OP or thread readers. On the contrary, I was writing primarily to the mailing list archive, for those finding it via web search and trying to understand it entirely based on what it contained. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
