So what was the point of your original comment? Apparently it was neither politics nor law. No one is going to disagree that the accident might have been avoidable. Does using a different word change the situation? Does it somehow make you feel better? Does it do anything other than poor salt in wounds I'm sure are already quite raw? Besides, in what universe does the word accident mean "unavoidable"? Accidents are unintended, not unavoidable. -- "XML is like violence: if it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using enough of it." - Chris Maden /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
