Hi,

For some reason this long thread reminds me of this Zen story:

Two monks were arguing about a flag. One said: `The flag is moving.'

The other said: `The wind is moving.'

The sixth patriach happened to be passing by. He told them: `Not the
wind, not the flag; mind is moving.'



Cheers!

Hector
