My favorite crumedgeon-opponent! How are you guy? I hope your organs are not still making your life a burden? Just live another ten years, and we will get a fix for just about anything- except hard headedness!

The organs I have left are behaving themselves for the moment. In the broader picture I'm just kind of hanging in against the torrents of change. Yourself?

I use the term according to standard useage for a specific mousetrap type, not a guy standing over a mousehole with a large cinder block or any other abstraction!

You're defining away your difficulties, then. A mousetap has to have all your elements because you say it does. Empty exercise.

A bit of Dupuytren's Contracture, and some unexplained shortness of breath, but overall very well.

I suppose all analogies break down if taken to the nth degree, but if the meanings of things in analogies are allowed to vary at will then they are indeed useless as an exercise.
