  ::: You coward! You're just scared of offending your profs. Seriously, we need an expert in Roman history, not industrial technology. There must be a lecturer in the subject in your faculty. PS: you're not quite right about my schedule: to editing, you can add managing my stock portfolio (that's how I earn my living: it takes at least half an hour a day!) and sitting in the sun reading books. And watching Latin soap operas on the internet. (I am currently following a Catalan series called El cor de la ciutat which I strongly recommend. It's really passionate. For an example, go to YouTube and enter El cor de la ciutat 1584, the episode where the girl who leads a group of squatters falls in love with the owner of the block they are occupying, and who has been battling them in the courts to get them evicted. Don't worry if you don't understand Catalan: the person who posted the clip provides a summary in English and anyway, the action is graphic enough). Best wishes
