I had to look it up, this word "meta" - oh, Bernie, you need to get with MY sense of humor!!!, too. It is odd, but highly individual!. Here goes : meta== greek - among, with after, change , beyond, transformation, transcending, but related to disciplines dealing critically with the originals - meta-language, meta-morphoses, meta=physics -- it goes beyond, more beyond and BEYONDER. To get back to websites , I suppose the tags go beyond, are relating to tying to the original in some way. My dictionary has several pages of meta-constructs! Language is wonderful and sometimes wonderfuller!! - BTW that river in Columbia, does it transcend something? Does it go beyond its bounderies? Incidentally - metapher is another meaning stretcher! These word coiners in the computer industry, how do they come up with all these expressions? Marta On Friday, Jul 4, 2003, at 10:00 America/New_York, Marta Edie wrote:
