Yes there is a lot of "chatter", if it weren't for the chorus already 
living in my head, perhaps it would be absurdly irritating to me too! <grin>

Oh... I misunderstood, you actually tried to follow it all!  No wonder!

Me too.  I am not unsympathetic to your (and Doug's) irritation.  Many, 
many, many threads on this list have a ... shall we say ... 
"masturbatory" quality sometimes?   When the circle gets too jerky for 
me (and I know it doesn't necessarily feel to be that for those who are 
involved)  I often just turn away from it.
