Er - have I missed something in this thread or am I being thicker than
usual (it's been a long term)?  But I see in my garden things that look
like sqirrels, magpies and cats, marked as such.  Darn it!  I guess the
little critters don't belong to different animal classes at all.

Well, since then I've seen Mathias Lassai's long reply which looks very
interesting.  Two things I'm going to do today: have a look at Danoven &
read Mathias mail carefully.

Still confused,
Ray.
