Jim, if it is not asking too much, I would appreciate it if you would read 
what I say more carefully before you set out to argue with it each time.

I notice that you repeatedly contradict me, set up a straw man, then set out 
to say pretty much what I was saying or write about something entirely 
different as if it addressed what I wrote.  I find it tiresome.

If you understand what I wrote, you will see we are pretty much in agreement 
on all points.

See my original post.  That is addressed.
