I don't see the two comparisons as equivalent at all. If two things are different, it does not follow that they can be ranked. If we have two objects, such as a spark plug and a cam shaft, it is one thing to say that the two are not the same object; it is quite another to say that one is 'greater than' or 'less than' the other. -- # p.d. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
