Just got that one, Ed... heh heh... guilty as charged, I guess, but threads I murder usually die from prolonged exposure to hot air... not used to seeing one go silent in this fashion, where one could almost suspect that intelligent people are too busy examining some controversial evidence to leap back in without thinking things out beforehand. That, I have found, is quite typical of the crowd here at LQ; I attribute it to higher I.Q.s than one encounters most other places.
