For clarification, "Dr. Wright" was not the author of the comments you are referring to (please look again at the thread). In fact, I was defending Streisand against what I thought was a somewhat elitist dismissal of her work. I'm on GG's side (and yours) on this one ...<BR><BR>James K. Wright, Ph.D.
