For what it's worth, I feel that Jim has put it succinctly
& I agree completely. I don't care enough to argue about
it but this sums up how I see the difference between the two.
Maybe we could put this one to pasture now - the archives are
full of discussions about this particular issue & Jim
must be getting a little weary of repeating his point.
