No problem with Patrick_D_Logan posting.  But as a general observation this
thread seems to have wandered away from having much to do with C++, I wonder
if the comp.lang.c++ crowd values this thread at this point.  Perhaps
stopping the cross posting would be nice.  Anyone interested in this on
comp.lang.c++ could move to comp.lang.lisp.
