I can now DO a barred F, Amos...I take my autoharp and push on the bar that says 'F'.... Come see us in October, and we'll compare which is easier... (some good stumps for speeches there, too!)

I see your point about "adding one little postulate", just as I see Two Bears' point about "opening my heart & mind" and "working with universal lifeforce energy"...but that feels to me very much like 'throwing the dart, and then drawing the bullseye', that is, asking me to alter my 'mood' in order to see, rather than showing me something that works, no matter WHAT my mood.   ....I strongly support the basic idea of Occam's Razor, and what you and Two Bears suggest smacks of pluritas way beyond necessitate.

(been working late at my lathe, and I sure could use an OOB right now!...will single malt scotch help?)
