Good to see you pop up here again! Alex "Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something." -- last words of Pancho Villa (1877-1923)

You can readily find mathematicians who can define some theoretical test for "matches" but who have no clue what it means. And who can be convinced to adopt a meaning of "matches" which is insanely broad, without the necessary context to see how silly the answer is. That doesn't mean that all mathematicians would be clueless on the topic. But their mathematical training is not going to give them the necessary insight to figure out what a meaningful answer is. Cheers, Ben PS Glad to be back. I now have an internet connection again. But I have a bit of catching up to do...

Ben Tilly would object to that characterization! :) -NT - (a6l6e6x) - (5) - Sept. 2, 2003, 02:46:22 PM EDT
