Herr Heidegger's principle of hermeneutics is not widely accepted
except outside of modern existentialism and as brilliantly postulated
by the late Monsieur Satre.  But, if I am to follow that very principle 
that you espouse, I would then also ask you to read the license in the spirit
of the American philosopher-academian, Prof. Fish, in
which case I can only say that your understanding must be different from 
mine and that all words are useless.  Thus I can only ask that we can only 
argue from the basis of 'common understanding' and 'common application'.  
Anything else would be too relativistic to gain much headway and I do not 
have that type of time (unfortunately ;-( to partake in such a heady discussion.
