Yes Dom, I very much shared the site creators' vision of not "talking
voodoo". Frankly, I used to be a royal pain in the butt in math class,
because I felt I had to understand *why* we had to learn a particular
formula before I could keep it in my head... pure rote work isn't worth
diddle without specific examples of application. Then it's practice and more
practice.
I believe Clyde has had a few of those PIA emails from me lately... lol...
;~)
Hope that answers your question.
Best regards,
Gene Pope
