Hi Paul et al!

Thanks for the support but Dr. Jones and I had emails offline to discuss
this privately....and have come to an agreement of sorts...<g>...best
left unsaid publicly...not anything malicious just agreement on some
topics, disagreement on others.

You wrote something that I too have noticed with 'netheads';

I have often complained of this to those who say they couldn't find
something on the net. Go to a library and do some PHYSICAL research
into the matter, it should be the least one can do since others did the
actual research and documentation that you are studying.

I have quite a library of my own as well as trying to get to the big
library downtown whenever I can for research, in addition to perusing
half price and discount book stores where you sometimes find 'treasures'
of 'lost' information....many KeelyNet files come from such
finds...<g>....

It is a peculiar idea where the Internet is viewed as THE main source of
information....if I had my choice of EITHER the Internet or a main
library, give me the main library, ANYDAY....yes, it takes time to hunt
things down but the quality and extensive information when you find it
makes it pure gold. Rarely on the Internet have I ever found extensive
information, though it is presented in a more entertaining form.

I always viewed it as walking over the mountaintops and ignoring the
valleys.....the valleys are where the devil lives.....devil in the
details ya know...sssoooo true...seeya!
