I tend to consider "ago" as one of the very small number of postpositions in English (along with notwithstanding - which may also be prepositional - and a couple others that I can't think of at the moment) -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'. Everyone's just a big dork or nerd, you just have to find people who are dorky the same way you are." - overheard ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTaylor42
