    "Well," I thought, "he wouldn't have written a post on such an obvious question unless he had some non-obvious answer to give!" Turns out I thought wrong, too.

    @Wm - Well, from what I know you still count as a naive reader, so that is natural; but I may have saved you from future sophomoric error?

    Reading the comments here, I thought for a moment you were making a case for Merry.
