    Hi Jeremy Bradley -

    I suspect there are a lot of reasons to supply a ready set of answers to
    questions like that.

    Four cheers for science, willing to watch and learn, and not just listen
    and repeat, and not call heirarchies criteria.

    Glue closes and keeps things from moving. That's its main function.
