Norm, you are much too kind.  In response I will allow that it takes 
genius to recognize genius.  I will also allow that you write my lines 
much better than I do.  8-)
 
You started by telling us that diverting your eyes made you stereoblind.
I'd like to hear a little more about these diversions you presented your
eyes with which made you go stereoblind. Everyone has been cautioned about 
the sorts of non-visual diversions which lead to blindness but I do think 
you've found a previously-undiscovered effect here.  Please elaborate.  I 
trust these were genteel diversions suitable for exposition on a family 
mailing list such as the present one.  "Genteel" isn't one o' them 
"ethnospecific" words, is it?  No, that was some other word, right?
