Hey, please, don't use obscure distinctions of the english language that other non native english speakers may or may not get. This is very nice of you to make us benefit from you great knowledge of the english tongues when we are searching for good description and in other documents we publish or even use internally, but please refrain from it when arguing, and try to use less ambigious terms. Also, i propose that Branden start learning a few other tongues, and then held an argument such as this in the proponent native tongue (german or french for Michel i think) :)))) Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
