    ]]>     I fully realize that I have not succeeded in answering all of your questions. Indeed, I feel I have not answered any of them completely. The answers I have found only serve to raise a whole new set of questions, which only lead to more problems, some of which we weren't even aware were problems.


    To sum it all up: I feel we are confused as ever. But we are confused on a higher level, and about more important things.
