Yeah, that was the essential thing that I think I was missing on the whole

I will try to locate it in the archives, but in case I don't locate it
please send it on over if you get a chance. My address is jonw at flink.com

I will send you my comments after I take a look at it, and perhaps can send

with the idea that certain Archetypes, once ascended are eternal, and
therefore possess much more power that those that are relatively new
concepts.
