Presumably Jim's "don't know Derrida from dogfood" is a play on "don't know dollars from doughnuts" in which case the derivation probably has more to do with assonance (similarity of sounds) than it does to derogatory intent. That's how I deconstruct it, anyway. Regards, Tom Walker, [EMAIL PROTECTED], (604) 669-3286 The TimeWork Web: http://mindlink.net/knowware/worksite.htm
