No, the world is NOT generally comprised of objects any more than it is generally comprised of waves. The sw developer flocking phenomenon you cite is causally unrelated to what the world is _comprised_ of and has more to do with blowhards brain-washing our naive children with propaganda. We see the same flocking phenomenon in pop music, roller shoes, tikcle me elmo dolls, and the popularity of tv. - -- glen e. p. ropella, 971-219-3846, http://tempusdictum.com The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule. -- H.
