Sorry, I was just poking fun at it (and by reference you). I have many quotes I like along the lines or "anybody sure of anything is likely wrong" - It all lies in the degree of certainty of a belief; Absolute certainty is for fanatics and fools (I just try for "correct" more often than not). Now if Loren were actually short for Lorentz... Paul Shupak [EMAIL PROTECTED] P.S. I just wrote an overly long-winded technical response to a previous poster who properly pointed out my statement was not really an improvement on yours.
