Damn it Juan! I was just about to post a "Thanks Razer, evidently
there's no new thought under the sun" (and Razer, thanks regardless),
then in true form, you point out a fundamental limitation in (in this
case Casey's, and what I thought was my own) presented position.

This highlights for me personally how programmed I am in my think, and
how useful it is to be perpetually reminded of at least one or two of
the limitations of said think. But shit, it's embarrassing how
programmed I am...

I sure f-ing hope -one- of these days I can give "the Juan
clarification" (at least to myself/ in my head) before you yourself do
so. Wow. (Still there's no new thought under the Sun, but how hard is
it to shake one's programming.)
