Jacques, it would help if you referenced the paper by title, so people could see the context. Even to say "The Multiverse paper" would be sufficient. Now, nowhere in this paper, nor in any other, do I discuss the ASSA vs RSSA business. Both are types of SSAs. For third person events both ASSA and RSSA are equivalent, and all I discuss in this paper are third person events. I use the term SSA advisedly. I would say, dear fellow, that this time you are hoisted! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Russell Standish Director High Performance Computing Support Unit, Phone 9385 6967 UNSW SYDNEY 2052 Fax 9385 6965 Australia [EMAIL PROTECTED] Room 2075, Red Centre http://parallel.hpc.unsw.edu.au/rks ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
