Good point, Jerry.  I was also tempted to jump in to defend poor Paul a 
little, but I have more or less decided to give up such activities.  (Defense 
seems doomed to failure, anyway, considering that many seem to want so badly 
for the read-only Big Tidy Package to be true that they will probably NEVER 
develop enough subtle skill with nonattached, transcendental investigation to 
actually discover whether even a particle of it is true.)

Best wishes; Godspeed,
