Godd point.  So is there anything outside the mind?  Is there even an "outside" 
as opposed to an "inside" of the mind?  Remember, it is not the flag moving 
between the wind or the wind moving around the flag, but the mind which moves.  
And yes, words.  But I think when you sign up for a text zen list on the 
internet you implicitly sign a waiver agreeing to play along with definitions, 
but only to the point of consensual clarity, maybe like adopting an ego.  VL
