thank you, all. i am taken by albert's idea that i would have done better to ask if one's 'simillimum' ever changes - granting also his stipulation that, as i would have it, the 'simillimum' might not exist in our as yet incomplete pharmacopoeia. at the least, this handily trumps hans' easy dismissal of the question, which, i am proud to say, i fully anticipated. :razz:

soooooo, hans...?
