I'm not to comment on such things, so I've been told. <LOL> However I will say that the term used to mean "blurry", but it may mean much more than that now (not necessarily a good or bad thing). <g> > > Cotty kindly(?) called the plant rubbish.

We're working with changing circumstances, sometimes quickly changing, so we grab what we can when we can. The other thing, of course, is that it's all pretty subjective. One man's rubbish is another man's balance. The reality is that neither Cotty nor I are right or wrong, objectively. Subjectively we know what works and doesn't work for ouselves - beyond that, we really can't say much more. Anyway, I'm off to work now - just got my first call of the day. later, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
