Much thanks.<br /><br /><b>Brian </b><br />Regrettably, I fear you may be correct. Even the search seems fraught with danger, never mind actually succeeding!<br /><br /><b>Carrie </b><br />Thank you so much. really good to have your feedback.<br /><br /><b>zongrik </b><br />Many thanks for this. Such an interesting comeback is always good to have.<br /><br /><b>Rachna </b><br />Yes, it seems to me that such secret knowledge has driven many, from the wise men of ancients, to the mystics and seers, to the secret Christian sects, to many that flourish today.<br /><br /><b> Tess</b><br />Thanks. I'm delighted you picked out that line!<br /><br /><b>Helen </b><br />Thank you so much for saying this.<br /><br /><b>Kristen </b><br />I like your take on it, and - yes, I think I agree with you! Thanks.<br /><br /><b>Tommaso </b><br />Wow, that's some compliment! I do remember "Jokerman", though not very well. I must track it down again. Thanks for this.<br /><br /><b>Manicddaily </b><br />A modern version of the apple, almost. (Not the computer, the garden apple!)<br />All I needed to do for the pics was change browsers - which daydreamertoo put me on to.<br /><br /><b>The Bug </b><br />Much thanks for this. Good to have you visiting.<br /><br /><b>Doctor FTSE </b><br />Thanks. Very much appreciated.<br /><br /><b>Windsmoke </b><br />Precisely. The Holy Grail for many.<br /><br /><b>Cait </b><br />Thanks - and oh! I didn't intend it to be depressing. I seem to have underestimated the effect of that final line.<br /><br /><b>Jenny </b><br />I do believe I've heard the story spoken of, but, no, I never did read it. Maybe I should search it out. Thanks for the tip.<br /><br /><b>Kutamun </b><br />Scraaaaagalashp orithank!<br /><br /><b>Kass </b><br />Well, now you mention it... very much like the internet.<br /><br /><b>Linda </b><br />This is such a brilliant response. If ever I do get to publish a book I'll give you first refusal of being my publicist. Thanks so much for this.<br /><br /><b>Carl </b><br />I am absolutely sure about you first para, and fear your second may prove prophetic too.<br /><br /><b>Jinksy </b><br />Thanks for saying. Much appreciated.<br /><br /><b>sunny </b><br />Thanks.

Wonderful mathematical construction, Dave. In the tradition of all the great writers of time, it is a doomsday tale too, though 'inadvertently'.
