Not if their are two men and three dogs, then they mean the men and the dogs. On the ui thing, Lojbab's mention of the modifiers is not sufficient to capture the possible uses of UI. Is 'physical love' the kind where you cuddle a lot, the kind where you have lots of sex (like the greek eros), both, or something else? What is 'mental love' - amourous thoughts or love of knowledge? What is social happiness? If these are to be useful they need more clarification. BTW, I think in addition to C, Vi, and Unix, the ancient geeks had a term for love of hardware - ENIAC. --la kreig.daniyl 'segu le bavli temci gi mi'o renvi lo purci .i ga le fonxa janbe gi du mi' -la djimis.BYFet xy.sy. gubmau ckiku cmesanji: 0x5C3A1E74
