Why do I suddenly think I'm starring in my private version of the movie 
"Groundhog Day," where the same events keep happening over-and-over again 
despite my best efforts to change them?

Needless to say, I respectfully disagree with Dave's comments above.  And if 
anybody figures out how a "locked" diff can transfer torque, please be sure 
to drop me a note before I go offline for the summer at the end of the 
month...
