     Shows you how much attention I was paying.  I read the whole thing, and managed to miss the very first paragraph (not to mention the byline).  Obviously my blood sugar is sufficiently out of kilter that I need to go do something about it immediately, without waiting for lunchtime.  Unfortunately I don't have the facilities here to fry baloney.  :-)
