Dear Fred,

	I know what you meant, but one of these days you need to remember 
that in the US calling something "silly" is sufficient reason for putting
on the boxing gloves. Rather than meaning uninformed or ignorant or some-
thing like that, in the US to call something silly is to denigrate the
speaker.
	BTW, some centuries ago silly/saelig and holy used to be syno-
nyms. 
	One would think we all spoke the same language. <G>
	Best,
