By coincidence, only a minute ago I read the following page.

WGA in its own right can help swoop most of the points above and ascribe them

PS - Nessuno, There was some funny circularity here. I found this article,
posted it to COLA and PJ, PJ put it up, you read it and then posted it to
COLA. *smile* It's like circular logic in computing, which is a form of geek
humour (related to recursive links and SSH chaining).
