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's

new.morning You seem hip enough to be a relative expert to moi, so let me ask for your opinion on the Josephson Tunnelling that may or may not be operative between synapses. If you think it's a dynamic, how do you see it being interactive with the ordinary synaptic transmissions involving
