Yes, Tabouli, made it to the end! Though I still think
the whole age classification debate stems from our
guilt issues...what do you think?  Thanks for sticking
up for us newbies (and oldies) who have been chewing
the age-classification scenery lately. Worked for over
an hour on a thoughtful response, then discovered a
posting in the inbox that basically said, "shut up!"
before I ever hit "send!" Please be patient with the
newbies, everyone.  Eventually, we will be up to
speed!
 - Mary, who had WAY too much coffee before her last
posting about age classification.
