Asher -- you and a couple of others are already continuing the long-winded dead horse in the other thread.

So I doubt this one will be open much longer.

But you guys pratically TURNED that thread into your own topic -- so why not maintain the thread-jacked topic in the other thread rather than open a new one?

What if I thread-jack this thread, so you have to go back to your original thread-jack, before someone thread-jacks your thread-jack into something else?

The moral of this is the following: self-referencing loops may be dangerous. If subprogram A refers to subprogram B, whilst B in turn refers to A, the resulting dead loop may cause your computer to explode.

OTOH, "I am lying" could also mean "I am lying in bed". It turns out quite philosophical.

Nah, circular linkage is standard fair these days.

It seems computer scientists have solved this problem while the philosophers couldn't.
