Pokey, it's a refreshing change to get a straight answer to that question.

I did get a straight "Yes" on another forum. Naturally, I asked for an explanation, which I'm still waiting for. It's about a year now, so I guess it's not coming. smile

BTW, I object to using "absolute(ly)" with nothing and infinite, as with perfect, complete etc. but, as you point out, it is becoming necessary.

There never was nothing.
