Once again I feel compelled to remind you that "behave", "detect", "respond", and "react" are objectively observed actions that do not connote or imply subjective "awareness". Therefore, no matter how technically complete your explanation of such actions, it doesn't answer Micah's question. -Ham 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/
