OK, I concede. Whatever point I was trying to make (I can't
remember at the moment) I didn't do a very good job of making.
Since this comes up every couple of months, I'm sure I'll have
the opportunity to try again. Meantime, people can take as
long as they like to draw dots on the plots, and they can
draw as many as they like. Just don't complain to me when
they take a long time, or I'm afraid you will set me off
again. ;-)

Cheers,

David
