Not at all. If you ask me "Do you think there is life on Jupiter?" I reply no. And if you ask me "Do you think there is no life on Jupiter?" I reply no. It's often the case that there is a middle ground between thinking so and thinking not. -- John Cowan jcowan@reutershealth.com www.ccil.org/~cowan www.reutershealth.com "If he has seen farther than others, it is because he is standing on a stack of dwarves." --Mike Champion, describing Tim Berners-Lee (adapted)
