thanks Wolfgang - almost all the words I used in this post probably had the wrong meanings (and I made up and/or grossly misused a few medical terms as well!).

I know its a brave thing to reject superstition, and I admire that in anyone. I just have a streak which erupts occasionally, I like to look at things from different sides of the fence.

we all know the true skeptomaniacs, they don't last long in mudcat. I wouldn't recommend any of Nurse Ratched's treatments tho - that woman is a freak.

best wishes
