Dan, you and Ronn are both straying from the topic that we were discussing, and neither of you have addressed the question that was asked. Additionally, Ronn made an incorrect statement about conductivity, which I corrected. > There is no arguing that heat capacity has something to do with this > phenomenon, but I see Ronn's statement relating to the long term lack > of thermal equilibrium.

This is a really silly argument, Dan. The BEST single thing to cite is something directly relevant to the question which was being discussed, which neither you nor Ronn did. Please try to focus on the topic. As far as the tangent that Ronn went down, the best single thing to cite is Laplace's (or Poisson's) equation, which I did even before he went down the tangent. -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
