Chris -- 
Waitaminnit! I thought Gray's post was thoughtful, incisive, and 100% on 
point -- I especially appreciated his analysis of the Control Line  P51 
coin! 
As a newcomer to pattern perhaps you don't yet realize the gravity of our 
pursuit of pattern perfection - and the need for complete dedication .... 
I'm sure it'll come to you later... 
Now to go and work on that new Apocalypse that just arrived... or was it 
an Armageddon...? 
--Kepp smiling! It makes 'em wonder what you're up to!!!
