Thank you for correcting my vocabulary usage. I apologize for my poor
word skills. I stand corrected. ;-)

Obtuse-ness is not a word, ray. The word you are looking for is
obtunuity.
I can't do the Greek or latin roots like James Or Bev, but, let me do
my best .
"ob" <derived from oboe, a wind instrument>; "tun" <root word would
be
'tune', as in looking for middle C > ; uity <contraction of "annuity",
a
protracted gradual payoff of an initial investement>.
Now, see, I was not optuse, I was obpaque...........explicating
sam....... bobf

Boy, do you deliberately ignore the point, or is it a natural
"obtuse-ness?" .
