Replying to LO30466 --

Just a quick note to address leo minnigh's concern about definition of
conflict:

Looking up the word on the net (Merriam Webster on line) led to the
following definition:

con·flict
Pronunciation: 'kän-"flikt
Function: noun

Etymology: Middle English, from Latin conflictus act of striking together,
from confligere to strike together, from com- + fligere to strike -- more
at PROFLIGATE

1 : FIGHT, BATTLE, WAR

2 a : competitive or opposing action of incompatibles : antagonistic state
or action (as of divergent ideas, interests, or persons) b : mental
struggle resulting from incompatible or opposing needs, drives, wishes, or
external or internal demands

3 : the opposition of persons or forces that gives rise to the dramatic
action in a drama or fiction
