You should read "the Origin of Species" a bit more thoroughly ;). The 8 year old child might agree with you, but a scientist classifying those birds would disagree these come from two distinct species: all the intermediate forms exist and cross-fertilise. I'd be hard pressed to classify what I dance in one of these two bins, to give just one example. When I suddenly get into another mood and dance slightly differently, should I be changing attire just so people are no longer confused as to what kind of animal I am? -- Alexis Cousein [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Engineer/Solutions Architect SGI/Silicon Graphics -- <If I have seen further, it is by standing on reference manuals> _______________________________________________ Tango-L mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tango-l
