BTW, this notion is extremely similar to some meta-physics theories, which I find to be very amusing. :-) Funny how real-life concepts tends to finds its way into programming. > I also think the real problem is in the nature of this beast, too disruptive > a view.

You're excused. Go code. I'm glad you "got" the above though. /Rickard -- Rickard Öberg _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
