  The medium is the mess.  BTW- we have been using
such languages for a long time now, IMHO. ;)  Integer
is not the originatorder.

  propoised( and illusional ) unity, not aktual
ouneity.  If only Webster could have found another

 When was reading not self-reflexive?  The gutenburg
galaxy is looking in on us, not vice-versa.  For
instance Ludwig Wittgenstein told us how language
hypnotises, so learn to be a programmer.  Also Joyce
once wrote:

"Shem was a sham and a low sham and his lowness
creeped out first via foodstuffs. So low was he that
he preferred Gibsen's tea-time salmon tinned, as
inexpensive as pleasing, to the plumpest roeheavy lax
or the friskiest parr or smolt troutlet that ever was
gaffed between Leixlip and Island Bridge and many was
the time he repeated in his botulism that no
junglegrown pineapple ever smacked like the whoppers
you shook out of Ananias' cans, Findlater and
Gladstone's, Corner House, Englend. "

  Oh I thought your saying was one-faced and Janus
laced.  Youve covered all points well, I was going to
say: "go to hell before I tell you there".
