Neville J Thank you for your response. This was an event which touched me more that the deaths of either of my parents or of my sister and I felt the need at that moment to share it with those I think of as my closest intellectual aquaintences. This may have been innappropriate. My apologies. Paul D ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sick of deleting your inbox?
