Anil,

the reason I wrote my follow-up wasn't the "appreciate" but the mentioning
of Saddam Hussein in this context.

Not to understand MZ (as Wayne wrote) really doesn't mean the same as not to
understand SH; so I think, that comparison only was out of place, as the
semantics of each "understand" are quite different. What MZ does and what SH
does is different, too.

But it seems, MZ had to "vanish" from the net, so all discussions about
his person might end the next time. (comp.mz.ai ended for now. :-) )

Regards,

Claus.
