Exactly right, Andrew

And thanks for posting that.

When time permits, there is a sense of adventure in an Ashtonese (I'll now start using the "correct" term) post. But like reading an e-mail from my German friends, sometimes there is just not the time for the adventure. Unlike a German e-mail, however, an Ashton post has a temporal half-life (as do most posts here), so sometimes they expire before I have time to parse them. :-(
