Perhaps.  I respect your opinion, and your right to it.  I'm quite
interested in this topic, but I fear it may be somewhat off track to pursue
this much further on the Twain list.  And I don't want this generally very
civil list to descend to the argumentative level of so many lesser
listservs.  So I'll just accept the chastisement at this point, and sign
off on this issue.
