Linda, please don't run the same thread on two different lists.  If you
want to talk about this here, kill the thread that you started on the
main list.

As for the answer to your question, I'm quite sure about my answer and
have pointed out the flaw in your question in the thread on the main
list.  I expect that we're done with the threads on both lists now?
