All,

We DON'T really want to get into a rigorous examination of these phenomena,
on a case by case basis, and whither or not there is any cause & effect
relationship that can be assigned to them.  Not here!

I think this is the reason there was at one time a TA group formed from this
group.  Maybe the folks in the HGSI forum would accommodate this discussion
as they seem to delve into TA a bit more than this group.
