On 10/24/01 (or thereabouts), Michelle (despite being an AS Guru herself)
appeared to request a definition of the term "Element"...
Element = Similar to a Thing, but not quite an Object: Actually a Sub-Object.
Clothing items worn by a "People" Thing could be termed Elements.
Some additional definitions not previously requested...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operator = Basically a telecommunications technician who moonlights as a
drive-thru minister marrying "People" Things and "Vegetable" Things to produce
"Vetegarian" Things.
Value = The "Vegetarian" Thing may have a Value of "Hungry" and is often found
in a Container skarfing down tofu burgers and french fries.
...and that is your AS list humorous sidebar for the day - Jerry me
