Hi, For some reason this long thread reminds me of this Zen story: Two monks were arguing about a flag. One said: `The flag is moving.' The other said: `The wind is moving.' The sixth patriach happened to be passing by. He told them: `Not the wind, not the flag; mind is moving.' Cheers! Hector On 4/6/07, david <gnome@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
