Thank you for your much valued contribution, I think I get your point :) Richard Rasker -- "Everyone knows trolls can't count up to four.*" *In fact, trolls traditionally count like this: one, two, three, ... *many*, and people assume this means they can have no grasp of higher numbers. They don't realize that many can _be_ a number. As in: One, two, three, *many*, many-one, many-two, many-three, *many-many*, many-many-one, many-many-two, many-many-three, *many-many-many*, many-many-many-one, many-many-many-two, many-many-many-three, *LOTS*. (Terry Pratchett, "Men At Arms")
