    :shock: I was hoping that it would have been a little tougher than that.

    My apologies, DS - I've used that as a sig line so it's on the tip of my fingers. I got excited to see one I knew ;)

    I was reading Emerson tonight and a certain passage reminded me of this topic -

    Civil and natural history, the history of art and of literature, must be explained from individual history, or must remain words. There is nothing but is related to us, nothing that does not interest us,--kingdom, college, tree, horse, or iron shoe,--the roots of all things are in man.
    If Mr. Einstein doesn't like the natural laws of the universe, let him go back to where he came from. ~ Robert Benchley
