I remember struggling in English classes in high school and college (where I was great at more "rational" subjects like math and computer science) where the teachers kept expecting me to understand all the symbolism that was supposedly there in the books and stories we read (the rocking horse isn't just a rocking horse... it represents the lost innocence of childhood!), but how is anybody to know what symbolism was really intended and what is a figment of the observer's imagination? -- == Dan == Dan's Mail Format Site: http://mailformat.dan.info/ Dan's Web Tips: http://webtips.dan.info/ Dan's Domain Site: http://domains.dan.info/
