Thanks Rob for your incisive response. In my first response, I hope I did not appear curt or "snarky"; if I did, I apologize for that was not my intention. Your comments are a good reminder that a system devised by humans is subject to change and inconsistency due to circumstances and human inconsistency and frailties. Thanks also for initiating this interesting thread, it has been educational, as are many threads and posts on this forum.
