Well, those are certainly more meaningful :) But thinking about it, I'm not sure about the distinction between probable and possible. I can appreciate the difference, but aren't both words often used interchangeably? Anyway, I would like to use only one of them, at least for now, and "possible" seems to be more equidistant to certain and wild guess than "probable". Wild guess is probably the less standard name, but I like it because it doesn't imply improbability. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
