- access the net via my "old" address -- so I will continue using that.

- Excellent point, Hank. I completely agree; it doesn't make much sense
- to try to apply control theory to a phenomenon if you don't know
- what variable(s) are being controlled; my mantra once again: Control
- theory is about CONTROL. If language does not involve control then
- control theory does not apply.
