Redefining truth used to be easier <wink>: I mentioned it to Guido late
afternoon, and his reaction was that it must have been cooked up by someone
who spent too much time in this thread.

In the context of this thread, I agree. Stepping back, there have been lots
of ideas in these threads that wouldn't have gotten a second glance had they
been proposed a month ago. However, it may be hard to tell the difference
unless you're Guido <wink>.
