1) I admit ineligibility for the cookie. 2) Intelligence and knowledge are not equivalent. Stupidity and ignorance are not equivalent. (Ignorance is a lot more easily "cured", for one thing!)

The fact that they're intelligent is just helpful here. :) Julia _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
