I feel honoured.              That said, there is the famous quip in philosophy of       science, to the effect that if you ask the wrong question,       you won't even get a wrong answer. By the way, that is       pretty much how mental culture works, or does not.              Tang Huyen              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
