You're very kind. I'm touched. (Notice I said "kind",
not "accurate).

Correction accepted as rendered. Thanks. I had forgotten
about that type of DC TC. Used to like the idea of them
too -- from their kinship with things in nature which
throb (or pulse, if you prefer).

Great! Terrific!
Er, ah,...um, what was the question again?
Pulsing away,
