Marsha:
Got one for the tongue?   

I was looking for dmb's explanation.  Since he can say for certain 
that I am wrong, he should be able to explain what HE thinks is 
the correct explanation.  It does sound to me like he has in mind 
some kind of idealized meaning built on a finite definition???  

I'm interested in his view because it seems so different than mine.  I 
won't shit on him, though, if his doesn't agree with my definition.
