Gray, I'll post a longer reply to your questions later, but I wanted to point out that a similar discussion is going on in regard to the David Lane article beginning with this post and following. You might be interested because it incorporates an ...

Steven. I liked your comments about the 4 Horseman.

I will try to comment later tonite, but maybe you can expand a bit by posting some more comments as a forum discussion?

Either way I'll get back to you on this.
