         Exactly my point.
         I've asked this over and over in another venue,
         and no one yet has responded with any
         realistic answer about how to overcome this
         major problem.

         Again, exactly my point.  And I should
         be fair and mention that I am aware there ARE
         a couple of fine EM folks that read this list.
         It may be they despair of any real solution....
