Thank you Tom.

Unfortunately, I'm not prepared for an intensive discussion of the VM.
While I have a lot of information about the map it has been gathered
over the years and I certainly haven't boned up on it at all recently.
What's more, I don't have the time to do so now.

I started all this when I came across Enterline's hypothesis re
contamination which was new to me. I thought it worthy of posting in
the news group for general information. I certainly didn't intend to
get into the present level of discussion for which I am not at all
prepared. All I'm trying to do is ask intelligent questions without
displaying an excessive amount of ignorance.
