I don't know. Decorum. Isn't that asking a great deal from SAP? Most of us
can't cough up a theory never mind a reasonable one with evidence and you
want - Decorum? Wow.

The Nature and Science mags publish stuff on line about a week before
Nature arrives here and if something looks "really good" I'd like to have
the magazine (paper) to read so I've been waiting and waiting, trying not
to read all these wonderfully titled threads. Nature arrived just before
kids came for "Trick or Treat" so that's next on my agenda. Maybe cocoa
and the itty bitty soon. I am looking forward to reading the Nature
version before the rest!
