If AC has a high refined culture he would call me back Cassandra. Which would not be good to me in this Thread since some of the people would be questioning elmat's mahood because Ray has already suggested me to be Queen of England and Cassandra was a female character. But in it is OK to call a highly refined and cultured male Cassandra to make a point. <Today, we call a "cassandra" someone whose true words are ignored, since Cassandra's doom was to predict what others refused to believe.> You don't have to look Cassandra up: In the Iliad, she is described as the loveliest of the daughters of Priam (King of Troy), and gifted with prophecy. The god Apollo loved her, but she spurned him. As a punishment, he decreed that no one would ever believe her. That would justify AC Flyer to call elmat Cassandra. So when she told her fellow Trojans that the Greeks were hiding inside the wooden horse...well, you know what happened. <GGG>
