That way others can benefit from the exchange (many don't bother to read the comments).<BR/><BR/>Thanks again.Rick Gerhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10478878021692544533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6410615559824660051.post-59254803099769570822008-06-29T05:53:00.000-07:002008-06-29T05:53:00.000-07:00MORELANDIf you start with particles and just rearr...MORELAND<BR/>If you start with particles and just rearrange them according to physical law, you won’t get mind. <BR/><BR/>CARR<BR/>Gosh!
