Definition 3b in the http://m-w.com/ entry does fit your sentence. Propagate is pretty tightly bound to perpetuate, pass on, continue, like in propagtion of execptions. Propagandize is the better verb to evoke politics. Publicize is a straight-foward way to say it. When its time for me to talk about my software, however, I don't publicize, I proselyzize: http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va=proselytize Thanks for the dictionary link, one of my New Years Resolutions is to learn German. We now return to or regularly scheduled programme (maybe). -- Alan / [EMAIL PROTECTED] / http://engrm.com/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
