Having just recovered from a month's worth of PC crashes from the superb local electricity supply suffering power failures and being apprised by someone that you did it again I can now comment. Of course I won. You were set up in a metaphysical mousetrap. I'm an expert on strategy, politics, rhetoric, Double Binds and paradoxes; you know: that illogical stuff ignorant Celts are aware of. It's quite simple, one does not *believe* or associate words with supplied meanings, nor confine one's mind to intellect. If one goes out with children one tends to come home with them. You should actually rename your *forum* into 'Muller's pulpit' for your motto. That would be honest. Preaching Catholicisms one should practice humility.

" It is like clouds rising in the sky: suddenly there, gone without a trace. And it is like drawing a pattern on water: it is neither born nor passes away. This is cosmic peace and eternal rest. When it is enclosed, it is called the matrix of the realization of suchness; when it emerges from the enclosure, it is called the cosmic body of reality. --Ma-tsu

Pooh knew what he meant, but, being a Bear of Very Little Brain, couldn't think of the words. --The House At Pooh Corner
