This is from your posting of March 22 re "RE: "Signs", "meanings", and
associations": You open by quoting me:
"RE: 'It's reasonable to ask Derek to describe as precisely as he can what he
has in mind when he says, "a word has meaning" -- in particular what he has
in mind with the word 'meaning' and the word 'has'.'
"If I could do that I would be able to describe human consciousness, which I
can't."
