I am affraid, that most of the net.med readers have subscribed to the newsgroup in order to be able to enrich their KNOWLEDGE about the medical issues. Sometimes, the discussion gets out of hand (some of us lack self control), but most of the time (I hope) it relies on REASON. If we all started to contribute with a notion, that even "unknowable" [sic] is valid, we could as well go back to the woods. zdenek ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Men are four: He who knows and knows that he knows, he is wise - follow him; He who knows and knows not that he knows, he is asleep - wake him; He who knows not and knows that he knows not, he is simple - teach him; He who knows not and knows not that he knows not, he is a fool - shun him! zdenek@CS.COLUMBIA.EDU or ...!seismo!columbia!cs!zdenek Zdenek Radouch, 457 Computer Science, Columbia University, 500 West 120th St., New York, NY 10027
