Does everyone in this discussion have the same notion of
property?  Perhaps just to make sure, or to enlighten me, one of
the participants would be kind enough to tell me what this notion
is. 

If I were asked whether every meaningful predicate expresses a
property, my first answer would be "yes, of course." Even an
expressive or attitudinal predicate such as "yummy" expresses a
property that some things have, namely, eliciting the attitude or
expression from the concerned speaker.  (Of course, to say this I
must either reify the predicate or relativize my logic.  Is this
Zeleny's point?)
