I think we're done with this thread. No reasonable person would read a simple sentence in the original context (which you have removed it from) the way you have described, and the rest of the discussion supports the obvious meaning. Any attempt to read beyond the obvious and clear meaning is going into fantasy land. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
