You are probably right, but should everything be always done the most obvious way? May there be a virtue in a little obfuscation so as to trigger a thought process. I am asking that because all my life - which probably means a few dozen times - I've been squaring the identity as the first step. This is the first time that I did it differently and here you at the right moment in the right place. Hubert, hi.
