What you wrote is very beautiful, and I do agree with it. <BR/><BR/>I think that "blaming" would be better attributed to some of those who advocate the LOA and who perhaps don't understand it very well (perhaps...like me!) rather than upon everyone who follows it. <BR/><BR/>I do appreciate your clarification.
