I've had a quotation in my mind ever since I started reading this thread. From "Through The Looking-Glass", Lewis Carroll: 'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.' 'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.' 'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master -- that's all.' -- Rich ============================== Take out the obvious to email me. |
