>That was certainly how I first read it. It gave such a warm feeling of superiority.> <<"superiority"?? what the heck does THAT mean? a superiority to What?>> I didn't write any of the above, but I'm still going to try answering this. I think Scottie was talking about a sort of spiritual/intellectual superiority to the vast majority of the human race...one which is in all likelihood false. Its sort of the same feeling a devout Christian or whatever religion has because he/she feels that they are "above" everyone else and have "found out" what a lot of people haven't...supposedly. This is all very nasty stuff. I hate it. But...I guess one should accept these people as they are if he/she doesn't want to be a hipocrite. I'm treading on dangerous ground here...anyone can pull me out at any time. :) Eric
