There is nothing in my refrigerator that says that you are not the owner of its contents. But that still does not make you so. First you have to enter into an agreement with me. I can also unilaterally grant you its possession under conditions, and then you are bound to those conditions, or you don't become the owner. Take your pick. -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum _______________________________________________ Gnu-misc-discuss mailing list Gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
