Newy, Thanks for your response. It's like an "all you can eat buffet" -- nay -- more like "all you can force yourself to eat using a plumber's helper to cram the victuals down your gullet." My brain is going to get love handles from this rich fare. Burpit's already coming up on me. Where

Edg, Thank you for your commments on my pieces today. For some I am sure, they are pieces of the thing I said to follow. Your brain questions are way beyond my level. I searched for current cites on J tunneling and synapes and didn't find much. Found this article. Which is beyond my expertise to
