Come to think of it, I never saw a good explanation as to why the 
crystal drive current really has this effect. I can only seem to recall 
hand-waving and experience show stuff. Could be I read it but forgot 
about it as I don't design crystal oscillators, only tend to use the 
once that others have designed and built for me.

Cheers,
