     It is roughly equivalent to lopping off your earlobe, except that
there are a lot more nerve endings.

     Frank, I wish you would confine your responses to those areas in
which you have *some* knowledge, and be very careful about posting
to a group which is generally concerned with discussing one's children
and related issues, since you are single and presumably don't have any
children (at least you never bring them to school :-) ).
