Well, I would think that whether or not we think it's possible, if there were/is a way to have such a language, I think most of us would want to make such a thing, or at least consider it (except for those of us who strive for ultranaturalness, which in itself would be kinda selfcontradic= tory, as natural change is anything _but_ planned. :) ). But I agree with you that there is no reason why anyboyd should mind about such a thing. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D= =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D Tom Wier <artabanos@...> ICQ#: 4315704 AIM: Deuterotom Website: <http://www.angelfire.com/tx/eclectorium/> "Cogito ergo sum, sed credo ergo ero."
