Shall we have a separate root for each and every ethnic group in the world? Hey, here's an idea -- everyone in the world get their own separate root. Heck, let's be really silly -- let's go ahead an issue a separate root zone for each and every atomic particle in existence throughout the Universe. That should only take up a few hundred bits of space in every address.... The first step down this road is the most dangerous. It's the one that seems the most plausible. The most likely to help, and not to hurt. And the next step seems pretty plausible, too. And the third. And the fourth. But this way lies madness. -- Brad Knowles, <[email protected]> "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -- Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790), reply of the Pennsylvania Assembly to the Governor, November 11, 1755 SAGE member since 1995.
