 ++> Response to William Elliot on "Value Measures"
 
 WE> Seems you want to make something more of this 'nihil' than most
 WE> folks here.
 
     Yes, I realize it is an area of exploration not intensely popular
     with most folks here; and I would not belabor it after a present
     interchange of which it is part....
 
 WE> Just how does a nihil compare with the nirvana?
 
     I don't know myself that they can be compared.
 
 WE> Mathematicians can do wonders with nothing, like create an infinite
 WE> heap of numbers.  It's a magic trick where they show you how to
 WE> count on nothing. -)
 
     I don't believe we refer to the same kind of "nothing",
     not that they're different ?
