I'd much rather prefer to see examples where it makes a difference, i.e. where using one gives a sensible meaning and using another gives a different sensible meaning. Examples where one "must" be used and the other "can't" be used are easy to find, but that kind of distinction seems rather pointless. In general the selbri itself determines which type of abstraction it will accept in each sumti place, so there isn't really any possible choice. co'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
