Before this discussion gets out of control (but thanks for enlightening me, anyway ;-) ), I'd like to point out that the meaning of my original mail was that I really cannot see any equivalence between Einstein's relativity theory and REBOL, other than the word "relative". (Besides, as far as I remember, "Relative Expression-Based Object Language" was made up _after_ the name "REBOL" was decided upon...) Sure, we all have our visions, but trying to sell a product from this kind of claim is not fair (nor honourable), IMHO. Anyway, I did mean the sentence "sorry about having that opinion", as I know it's probably of the deepest irrelevance to the great people at REBOL Tech. Anyway, now I've had room for my frustration ;-) BTW, if REBOL Tech. _do_ want to cite Einstein, better make it "Everything should be as simple as possible, but not simpler". That fits REBOL a lot more, I guess. Kind regards, -- Ole Friis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "Ignorance is bliss" (Cypher, The Matrix)
