thanks to all that participated. My apologies to those who riffed on the question or provided extra/unclear answers; I love to read them, but if I post them people will use them as "legal" arguments the next time they want to post something I don't like as much. Those kinds of arguments ruin this for me, so whatever I can do to avoid them, I will.
