Sorry, Bill
I just had an allergic reaction to the 'solipsism' - 'empiricism' alternativ=

Also, both your question to Jay and my questions to it were very short
messages (leaving a lot unsaid). Thanks for taking the time writing your
very long and very clarifying posting. I needed it, I think. And I would
like to come back to it when I have some daylight outside my windows again.
