This would seem to go along with what Davison's doctor said when he regenerated, "I might regenerate, I don't know. This time it's different." He didn't seem sure that he would regenerate. If any of this is wrong, sorry. I'm going totally by memory. Any extra information would be helpful, but no flames please Clayton James Wootton AT&T Naperville Illinois Would you mind not standing on my chest, my hat's on fire If you don't stop burning my scarf, you'll have to kill me.
