Marsh,
I feel awful, I misread you!  I missed a 't'!  I was wondering where you
got 'meditation' from.

I had read 'mediated'! hahaha. I thought you were saying the process was
'quite', but not fully, passive, and this came from your minor MEDIATION
of it.  Yikes.  I'm a jackass.
 
Also:

good to know.

sounds good still, despite my prior misreading!

[Tim]
well, even if you didn't need to forgive me I needed to forgive me... so
thanks once more.
    


I guess I am left wondering how far meditation is from mediation, and
vice versa.  If you come up with anything, drop me a line.

all the best,
Tim
