Several people have pointed out this article. I thank them for those
responses. I have visited this site and think that it is very valuable --
others should also visit and browse. As I get time I will spend some time
there reading the articles.
BUT this particular article uses caloric language -- uses the word "heat"
as a noun -- has it flow etc -- and I find myself yelling at my monitor to
the point where neighbors look worried. Again as I get time I will contact
the author and offer editorial services.
Or maybe Leigh Palmer would offer such -- Leigh, were are you when we need
you????
