In fact, I'm inclined to think it could be proven that it's impossible in principle to prove it! :-)Jim Wetzelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07358539074647113747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9748383.post-3889761617151013092011-01-07T19:53:00.291-05:002011-01-07T19:53:00.291-05:00Jim,
