I'm not sure I agree with that ... but it's a very interesting point.


Well, when you decide to beg a question, you do it with panache. Maybe I am wrong and dirt is that stuff between the pages of Hustler Magazine... or the technique used in the auctioning off of Senate seats. Maybe it's the soft talk in the backseat after the prom? To me it's the combination of minerals abraded from rocks and the oganics that accumilate through composting of dead biota. Organics had to have had somewhere to grow before it could ever combine and that stuff was silt.

Silt ain't dirt? What's your dirt, FallibleFiend? There's plenty of metaphor out there. Take your pick. Let's see if you can make the word scientific. It's not very, ya know. It's actually pre-Dolby tape-hiss. That's about as sciencey as it gets, methinks. confused
