The original poster was just stating a personal belief. At least, I think so. Or rather, it is my opinion that I think so. I mean, I believe that it is my opinion that I think so. Help! Why can't I seem to express any FACTS? "Two monks were sitting by a pond. The first one said, `How happy that fish is!' `You are not that fish,' retorted the second. `You do not know whether that fish is happy.' The first monk replied, `You are not me. You do not know whether I know that the fish is happy.'" The second monk started to say something, but thought better of it. --Reader's Digest Treasury of Monk Jokes -- Col. G. L.
