So now we are going to quibble over the meaning of is. It seems to be very important to you that your intepretation is the only one that is acceptable. Fine...let it be so.

Again...it seems very important to you that your interpetation is the valid one. Use Emperor, use Czar, use head coach... use what every word you want. I understand what you mean. I got it the first time you posted to me. After all English is my mother tongue. :)

You and I aren't that far apart. But your posts remind me of a prof I had. He could only accept the answer if it was written in certain terminology. You could say the same thing in a different way...but he was looking for those key words. I don't want to play that game with you. I have better things to do.

But your posts are finely written and should be read by all who are trying to understand the conflict.

Fair enough, FRiend. You're a good sport for putting up with me as long as you did. ;-)
