Jim,

Maybe I did not want to *make* a point with the Humpty-Dumpty story but
*made* a point unintentionally! :)

By the way, I think Humpty-Dumpty/Lewis Carroll approached the concept of=

'meaning' more from the point of view of mathematical logic than from the=

point of view of natural language. Now *I* won't kill *their* joke by
further expanding on this. This whole theme is treated very well in Dougl=
as
Hofstadter's 'Godel, Escher, Bach'.
