I'd guess you're correct. Only other possibility seems to be that you're asking for n different answers (where n is the number of mo), to the same question, or something. The latter possibility seems horribly confusing, and the former seems like its just throwing semantic possibilities away. If it were up to me, and if I remember to do so in my own usage, I'd say that more {mo} is a request for a more specific se bridi. - Jay Kominek Plus =C3=A7a change, plus c'est la m=C3=AAme chose
