You often surprise me. The diplomacy you show responding to some of my diatribes, which recently have been aimed at your expense, is an acquired skill that few IMO care to cultivate. I'm all for think'in out'loud, 'specially when one knows that that's exactly what one is doing. It's a very creative process. As for my own on & off theoretical research into chaos and fractals, I think it is healthy to realize that there are no guarantees that what any of us fixate on and subsequently choose to explore will bear any kind of fruit. It's probably expressed in Zen literature somewhere that the cultivation of anxiety and misery often begin with the assumption that what one chooses to work on is expected to save the world, or generate a new renaissance of global understanding. Truth of the matter is: I occasionally putter around in this field cuz it's fun. I know how to program, I like a good puzzle and the challenges such puzzles present me with. It also flexes the linear-analytical portions of my cranial nodules - which I fear I allow to atrophy more than I ought. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
