[MD] Re Proposed solution to SOL/Intellectual level

[Khoo Hock Aun]

Hi Marsha,

There is a typo there which Mark did not intend. It should actually read:

"We are what we think
All that we are arises with our thoughts...
With our thoughts we make

However,
Its not really important what I think.
I think its more important what the rest thinks.
I have to live in a world they all make up for me : )

Seriously,
If we all get caught in a pissing competition
about who gets the best word in
then all we get is a lot of urine in the air !

Afraid so and best regards
Khoo Hock Aun
