<BLOCKQUOTE><TT>Well, while we're on plays on words I have a little<BR>German
story that may not be known outside the mountaineering<BR>world. A great Swiss
climber of the latter 19th century<BR>was Melchior Anderegg, who was known for
being unusually<BR>cautious for a climber of his calibre. One time he
and<BR>several other climbers were looking at a face from a
distance,<BR>discussing the feasibility of a suggested route. One of<BR>the
others said that he thought that the route was feasible.<BR>Anderegg
reportedly responded:<BR><BR> Ja, es geht, aber
ich gehe nicht!<BR><BR>Bill<BR>--<BR>Bill Poser, Linguistics, University of
