And last there is the value added to others that observe you : assaulting the wall (even if it is only entertainment). I agree with everything in this paragraph. I never said there was no VALUE in assaulting the wall. I said that whether you attack the wall or not, you're still on the same side when you're done. But you are correct that there is entertainment value (like this thread), and educational value. -- Daniel Alt Department of Music - Case Western Reserve University "My idea is that there is music in the air, music all around us, the world is full of it, and you simply take as much as you require." - Edward Elgar
