I have no intention of objecting to your definition [Turtle]. If you have something important which you can deduce from your definition, have at it. I was taking your comments to be objections to my definition which apparently was not your intention. So this whole thread is based on misunderstanding.
Yes I agree with all, save humbly suggesting the thread is based on misexplanation.

Don't run off Doc. I have no objections as you say, so I withdraw to watch.I see you have other respondents already as it is. Carry on.
