Of my 4 great-grandfathers, two were about to be born in Germany, one
was a miller who never left the county where he was born (and where I
grew up), and one allegedly fought at the Battle of Vicksburg. That
last one ended up retiring in San Antonio, where he lived for about 30
years.

Actually, I was not complaining about the change of subject. I think
-- at last -- that even some of the media types are growing weary.
This discussion is magnitudes more interesting.
