	As i said in my orginal message, "so I was told..."
	Still, however, I should've never posted the original
	article in such a way so as to imply that that was the
	case. Apparently what I was told is not true. That's
	good. I would like to see Cyc succeed. 

	My apologies to all (again) regarding my first mail.
