Hi Jon,

No, actually not any issue with any of what you had posted, as also just affirmation toward various historical posts by Glen.  

Yes, sorry about a thread-rudeness.  I had sort of dropped a chunk of something that had been accumulating for a week in the middle of your thread which was in the coarse of solving other problems, where it didn’t belong.  Partly this was because yours had been the latest snapshot, partly it was because the overall frame you and Glen and Steve are building is one that I would like to think of my own additions as finding a place in, and partly I was probably using the measured tone of this sub-thread as cover, since my own was rather crabby and aggressive.  Strange that it seemed formally impolite to me, to use your thread as a point of departure and not direct the salutation to you, while I blew past the fact that it was substantively rude to use the thread, rather than to participate in it.

Very good.  Thanks for calling me on this,


Eric
