Re: Altavista translations

Thanks Gene for the URL to babelfish. That's what I meant about
translation from one language to another. No, we're not going to use
something with "hidden senses" like Lewis Carroll writes. It's for
dull, straight forward prose that get's us through the rudimentary
thoughts. Similar to the Pigeon Languages used by the American Indians
when they gathered for trade. Nothing will ever replace the creativity
and wordsmithing ability of a genius like Carroll.
