As to the essentially recursive nature of TCA, I simply note that this view requires a stack of dogs; in my experience stacks of dogs engage in an entirely different form of behavior, which, under the proper parity conditions, is truly recursive. -Ken [If anyone is Really Tired of This, I will stop sending this rather convoluted conversation between two friends of mine who don't know each other but apparently should -gwc]
