I think soemtimes it might be appropriate to write ALL the thoughts that come into your head when writing! I said in the 'western' world, haveing changed it from 'the world', because I only know about the western world! I am also fairly certain I ahve read about other cultures where worth is not measured this way. However, point taken. perhpas it is a world wide thing and not just a western thing. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
