good point. Well, to quote Monty Python's Life of Brian: "we're all individuals!" But we're also part of a crowd and share characteristics with the rest of the crowd. The "typical individual" would have characteristics that are shared by the vast majority of the population (like having two legs). by the way, why do your e-messages come across in narrow columns? why do Shane's come across in BIG LETTERS? (some things I'll never understand, like why e-missive from my old e-mail address showed up with no carriage returns/line feeds.) -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
