That was exactly my point: that although many people (including me!) think that it does, other people do not - and, IMO, refusing or otherwise failing to understand what they mean when they use the term that way is not helpful. There's a seed of a colorable argument otherwise in Russ's mail, however, so I don't intend to push that terribly hard - especially not given that the entire discussion would be at best arguably on-topic. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
