I don't think so. I find that when I look up something on for example Wikipedia, I find myself following many of the links in its articles which take me to all sorts of places unrelated to my original quest. In fact I sometimes run the danger of forgetting what I was originally looking for -- but on the other hand memory loss is attributable to age, and I qualify for such loss on the ground of age. Ken
