John,

I love those trick questions. Let's do it this way, explain in 1000 words or less exactly why they are important or lack importance. Why would those maps be included on the web pages if they had no meaning?

I'm not sure if everyone else notices, but you rarely get past a two liner which means that the majority of the readers never learn from you. Maybe it's time for you to make a contribution.

Come on, I know you can do it. Let's see the best of John V. Now don't make it to technical or you'll loose your audience. You're pretty cool so give it something with a little pizzaz. You know I never sat in on one of your lectures, I might have to change my mind and give it a two thumbs up rating.

Ok, here we go. We're on the track and Mario Andretti's son says, "Ladies and Gentlemen start your engines." Oh can you feel the thunder under your feet? I can.
