I quoted the statement I wanted to respond to -- in its entirety, please 
re-read it. I didn't and don't want to comment on any other points you 
made. If you would like to respond to my metaphor concerning tools, 
mimicry and artistry, please do. If you want to question my use of the 
metaphor, contact me off list. There's no sense polluting this thread 
more than I already have ... my off-topic quota is almost full for this 
year :D
