Larry,
      Great observation, as already mentioned by knowledgeable people here on the list.  This is why observations/comments by beginners are so very important.  A lot of these might be old hat, but occasionally you new guys come up with something completely new and not previously observed by "the old guys".  This is something that should encourage all of you newbees to contribute, even if you think what you have to offer might be mundane.
