Steve,

Some good points.  Thanks.

I wasn't really concerned about invasiveness from the point of view of
spreading, just more from the point of view of removal.

Has been a very good discussion.  Thanks to everyone points.  Has certainly
stilled any minor concerns I may have had.

Thanks!!

Cheers.
