Is the only problem loops in the definitions? Could it be fixed by another global restriction? I'm concern that "we didn't think much about it" might not be good enough. Better to have thought about it and ruled it out beforehand, or to think about it now in response to the comment? -Alan On Fri, Feb 20, 2009 at 8:48 AM, Peter F.
