And the anaolgy of a filter is a very accurate one. Just like an air filter or oil filter, our assumptions need to be examined, cleaned and even completely changed from time to time in order to allow things to function smoothly. Thanks for the reminder - perhaps it's time I did some "spring cleaning" of my assumptions! <I><B>Laurie:</b> Hey Patrick!
