Interesting analysis, and I like the example you gave to illustrate it.

Thanks PhilDragoo, excellent background on the Higgins boat.

Marshall's account of Omaha is one of the most detailed I read, he sure didn't water it down.

Thank you Radu.

I couldn't do it without the help of the other Freepers and AntiJen, Snippy and Cote.

Thanks for the ping, Sam. Unfortunately, this time of year my weekends are consumed with kids' sports, and what's left with honey do's! I'm relieved when I get back to work on Monday!
