Why do you insist on proposing utterly silly claims like that? Just think for a microsecond (to not exceed your attention span) about it: Who started this "linking different works"? The computer? The apps themselves? Some strange alpha particle flitting through RAM? Or could it have been a human being instructing the computer to do it? There goes your "automated process that cannot add creation" -- Just out of curiosity does this actually mean something or have some of the few remaining bits of your brain just evaporated? _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
