You got those right ! LOL !

> And a whole 'nother thing to look into is the oven itself -- a really good bread *can* be baked in a conventional oven but bread really needs hotter temps than that and that hot oven with enough humidity in it also gives to your bread something called "oven spring".

See ? it's the 'traps' we beginners (of
any age) need the most .... Thanks
for the further information. Sounds like 
something I read somewhere else about 
putting a dish of water in the oven with 
'French' bread to get that nice crust ...
