******   Dr. T, you just proved why P3D is the most powerful 3D tool in
existence today for promotion of 3D!!! It's partly because folk like you
know others with these interests, each with their various specialties. Even
if those persons are not present on P3D their presence is nearby and the
real point is that it's available to these people if and when it's important
to them to participate. Till then we don't need their direct input except on
occasion. And thanks to P3D, most of these individuals are accessible to
someone needing to contact them. : -)
