You speak 'English' but you changed the spelling. But how about through? Why on earth didn't you change it to throo? :-) Anyway - look up the history - it's history your talking about not undocumented functionality or hard to find documentation. >>you guys who have to do things like change movie titles from, say "the >>Philosopher's Stone" to "the Sorcerer's stone", and "007, licence >> > Complain to the publishers for changing the BOOK title.

This is to do with STUPID religious ideas: Philosopher vs Sorcerer Most religions are simply brainwashing children to believe what their parents believe without taking ANY facts into consideration. I'm so glad most schooling doesn't follow that pathetic idea with any other aspects of learning - otherwise most people would still believe the world was flat and the sun goes around the earth. Religion causes problems it doesn't fix them. I think the ancient Greeks got it closest to reality. Their religious deities have aspects that match reality unlike most current religions. -- -Cheers -Andrew MS ... if only he hadn't been hang gliding! -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
