Re: Sweeping

You have such a simple, clear way of explaining that even I can easily
understand.  Rod can post his brilliant assays to In the Hack, but I hope
you'll stick it out here (not to put you down at all, but you do explain
things so nicely... and concisely - Rod (although he is such a dear boy) can
go off on complicated tangents (intellectually, Rod leaves me in the dust)
and, by the time he's explained what I wanted to know - I've forgotten the
question:-)
