Hi SA, I don't consider individuals such as yourself to be "fictitious conveniences." I value you as an "independent reality" whose individuality brings much high quality to my experience. I can imagine the look on the faces of your staff if you told them they were simply figments of your imagination. No. You and they are as real as life and love and beauty and death. And that's The Truth. :-) Platt ------------------------------------------------- This mail sent through IMP: http://horde.org/imp/ Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
