One of my students asked for the correct def and I couldn't find it, didn't mean for this query to go to the whole group, just to Efrem.  At least it didn't have any curse words, insults, or personal information in it. I once got a missent email explaining how the whole academic dept. was planning to oust its chair.  Sorry again. Deb
