Sorry Teacher, I'm overly sensitive today and didn't mean to be defensive. My point was simply that, while it's interesting and informative to look at the bigger picture, it's beyond the scope of Jeanette Isabelle's project.

I do appreciate that (this?) discussion moved to another thread, I just wasn't happy about how that (this?) thread was framed. It seemed to me to be a MUSHY thinking line of thought, which I didn't think was fair. Then you went and explained yourself well and now I feel like an ass.
