As Richard points out, it isn't quite 'can't be done', and
it isn't dogma: it's basic science.
Brian=============The worst dogmatists are dogmatists who believe they are right.Like fanatics who see enemies everywhere.I think it's little use discussing why it **must** be impossible.Let's do the job and that's it.I suppose people like you would never help somebody go to the moonbecause it is **obviously** impossible to do.I don't believe in the "can't be done" dogmaand I maintain that that kind of "think negative" attitude is useless :it is just individual incompetence theorized as everylasting boundary to mankind.Arnaud================
