It is a virtue too seldom seen that a poster admits ignorance of a subject.  Hopefully this represents a new era.  Perhaps humility resulting from the suspension of recent memory?  No doubt there will be much to be achieved as a result of the "turning over of a new leaf" and this will facilitate a greater exchange of idears and discussion of things.  One must wonder if this is a Road to Damascus experience, or if not, perhaps a Road to Morocco or Road to Singapore experience.
