Yes!, of! course! I! am!, I! added! a! smiley! to! show! I! was!. Would!
you! like!
an! exclamation! mark! as! well!?

My apologies for getting your name wrong, Pokefield sounds just like
Poakfield
where I live, although I understand that in Western Pennsylvania vowels are
added, "hand" is pronounced "he-and".

Now let's get back to the more serious (sorry, sear-E-us) subject, you need
not answer a question with a question.
I said:
Oh yes it is. Linear/angularmomentumis always conserved. How does that
work then, Pokefun? :-)

Linear and angular momentum are both vectors, true vectors. Don't you
think they are, or should be?
My name is P. Oakfield. What is yours?
