Fact: Taming Of The Shrew (Shakespear) is EXTREMELY similar to a play by another author called Taming Of The Grue (or some such{similar name). The comment had a lot to do with this discussion, when you consider the material following that you neglected to mention in your flame. This comment was meant to add a little humour, but it seems it failed. Only the following material was relavent. Just in case you are interested in the above fact, you could read the text before the play "Taming Of The Shrew". The Swan Edition, to be specific. << ---------------------------------- >> << ersys!mforget@nro.cs.athabascau.ca >> << mforget@ersys.edmonton.ab.ca >> << Michel Forget >> << ---------------------------------- >>
