It's fine we don't agree, and you have a valid point about providing some
evidence, to back my claims. At this time I will admit I don't have hard
evidence, just my intuition, which can't be taken as evidence.

If I have time to investigate 960 further and find I'm wrong I'll retract, and
if I find I'm right I'll demonstrate it. At least to a point....it might take a
whole book!;-)

Best,
 Terry
