Precisely because he is an exception he has to take the rule under his protection, he has to keep the mediocre in good heart. #894 What *I* fight against: that an exceptional type should make war on the rule___instead of grasping that the continued existance of the rule is the precondition for the value of the exception........... However RC has a valid point as one could find examples of N condemnation of the mediocre,etc. Bernard ___________________________________________________________________ You don't need to buy Internet access to use free Internet e-mail.
