Thank you for filling me (us) in on that!  It's one of those things - 
you go through life wondering about one thing or another, and the more 
pending things on your mind, the heavier the load - so to speak - so 
when you get a clear and enlightening answer to one of those pending 
questions, it feels quite nice.  I'm not explaining myself very well, 
but in any case, thanks again for the enlightenment!  I appreciate it!

And, while I'm at it - thank you to SJT for the keyboard information 
earlier today!
