My question was answered, and faster than I had expected. The
researcher cited sources which addressed my question at its edges.
Reading between the lines in them, I picked up the information that I
had sought - and a lot faster than had I researched it on my own.
Count me a satisfied customer.

What a Powerful example of how Google can work right and really do the
job. Thanks to digsalot for boiling it down to a real answer.

Hi, Digs

Fascinatinating stuff. Many thanks.

And, no, you have never told me about the two camels named Mildred and Clarice.

And, if I were to ask, would that be one question or two?

But, more importantly, would it be a-huh rather indelicate of me to enquire?

All the Best

Bryan

Thanks Diggsy,
              It was probably not the definitive answer but as you and
others have intimated there is probably no definitive answer and Iran
could well be the cheapest on many measures. Would have liked to know
why you actually spent so long there however?  Thanks also to Carl
from Hollywood who provided some additional and very relevant info on
the subject.

Outstanding answer, I had to clarify the question, but once that was
done, I was given an answer that more than satisfied, what I
originally requested.

Your answer was so much more thorough than I had expected.  I really
appreciate though, this has been a big help!

Great answer. Thanks so much!

Thank you for enlightening me, digsalot.
And to sfxmystica-ga, you don't antagonize me, I just turn the other cheek.
We in the West have Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Worship.
We tolerate diverse viewpoints, and through the free exchange of ideas
we in the West progress.  We tolerate different religious practices,
or non-practices as it may be.  Indeed, the Muslims of the West, Sunni
or Shia, have more freedom to worship as they choose, of their own
free wills, than the average Saudi subject where adherence to one sect
of Islam is official, exclusive of all others, and mandatory.
So sfxmystica-ga, 
please enjoy exercising your right to Freedom of Speech, here on this
world-wide internet, this internet invented in the sunshine of North
America.

Thanks! That was great. keep it up.

Thank you, I am new to this and have just now gotten skilled enough to
complete the program with a rating. As to the misspelling, yes, I was
looking for veneer,but as I find more and more, my fingers sometime
hit an extra key.

Thank you sooooooooooo much.  You have really helped me and saved me from "myself".
