Hey Cimode, nice to know you're still alive. As usual, you bring your own personal angle to things. Personally, even though a few here are careful with their prose and a few even have a way with words, I think the only way to nail down the meaning of 'value' is via a formal description of something else such as the operations of an algebra, not the notion itself. I'd guess this is a problem with all spoken languages, if they were any good at describing anything per se, rather than relatively, we couldn't have poetry. I'd say the posters here have been engaging in a conversation, nothing wrong with that, but we can't pretend it's an exercise in definition. Received on Sat Jul 05 2008 - 04:47:09 CEST
