If I sounded snide, that was not my intention. These were honest questions. I asked these questions because satisfying answers will compel me to spend more time understanding UMBEL. And I really don't know why you are picking on Ross.

I am not a member of this list, I just came here to ask a question, and this is the only thread I'm active in. No need to disengage from this forum because of me.
