In a message dated 98-01-01 19:01:09 EST, you write: << And then it seemed perfectly reasonable to him to die if the pool was going to be empty. >> I agree with this, but jump in? If he knew the pool was going to be empty, he wouldn't have jumped. I guess I could ask...why would he have jumped? But he would be willing to accept himself being pushed into the pool by his sister as he had no control over that. Eric
