Darn. I never could keep those Dewey boys straight...however, there are two good things:
1) Together, we're smarter than any one of us alone.
2) We know at least one of the Deweys would be using tRATs and 4-S applications if they had known about them.

Paul (and all),
You give me more credit than I deserve. My only awareness of Dewey was his library "Dewey decimal system". However, I think he was about the applications not just the tRATs.
