Michel,
     'Dumb' is not the right word to use.   The concept may have been
completely thought out, or the 'neat idea' may have taken on a life of 
its own and escaped to the net prior to going thru the strainer of
play balence, but not dumb.
     You asked for comments, and you got them, not exactly what you
expecting, but you got comments.   I've sent some things out and 
frankly, I get better reactions from talking with my cat.
The subjects were sent out and, (I suspect they were sucked into a 
black hole.), not seen again.	It is much better to get critical
well intended comment than nothing at all.
