Perhaps, do you have any more details of the article.

You post, nate's, and Paul's arrive on my email at the same time. The
"uneasy" aspects may (and it's a gut feeling here as I certainly am only
reading Lakoff as a newby) be echoed in some of nate's discussions.

Anyway, I'm going to look up more into Lakoff after this round of
stimulating discussions.

Mike, Paul and Nate as well,
This is totally unrelated to Lakoff/Vyg., how do you find much time for such
frequent interactions on the XMCA. :-)
