Post #36,431 by a6l6e6x 4/24/02 5:15:42 PM Reply	Maybe Karsten is thinking of a state building in Carson. Merriam-Webster: capitol 1 a: a building in which a state legislative body meets 1 b: a group of buildings in which the functions of state government are carried out 2 capitalized: the building in which the U.S. Congress meets at Washington Alex "Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened." -- Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

Post #36,510 by CRConrad 4/25/02 1:05:25 PM Reply	Uh... Yes, exactly. That was my point. Which is it that is named 'Carson'[][] -- the capitAl of Nevada, or the capitOl in the capitAl of Nevada? I know the capitAl is; as for the capitOl, I didn't even know they had* names, besides "The Capitol"... do they, really? []: Which I personally didn't think sounds all that much like 'Karsten'. Am I (mentally) pronouncing your name "wrong", K... Or are you? ;^) []: Named after Kit C, IIRC. Christian R. Conrad* Of course, who am I to point fingers? I'm in the "Information Technology" business, prima facia evidence that there's bats in the bell tower. -- [link\|http://z.iwethey.org/forums/render/content/show?contentid=27764\|Andrew Grygus]
