I'm with Shannon on this one.   Ric needed to be able to expand a little more,
and it wasn't happening in OTR.   blau, how ya like me now?  Anyone who's
heard _Hush_ at least once should now understand why things split the way they
did.  And GDBD, of course.  ;-)    You know which of the two *I* would take on
a desert island.

On a side note, Shannon, I find myself listening to _Sod Pottage_ a lot
lately.   It's a damned good CD.
