[AT] Waaay O.T. - Sterling???

[kgw]

Guess I may have missed something along the line, but I don't recollect 
hearing IQ's discussed here---However, farmer's comment about the desire 
for "personal experience" and "knowing whose experience & comment to 
take with a grain of salt" surely is meaningful.

BTW, Walt, pls don't depend too heavily on the ol spell-checker---it 
cannot tell you when to use "here" or "hear".
