Caucasian is a special designation CREATED for the purpose to set off persons belonging to it from other persons. There is nothing bigoted in that; it is a legitimate scientific expression as a variety of Human. "Man" on the other hand was not coined for the purpose of offsetting the sexes; it is the translation of the Latin Homo which is the name of the species we belong to. Just how it came that it acquired a second meaning to designate the male gender I can't tell you, but it is certainly not the only instance of words having two meanings. It seems we already had an e-mail debate on this years ago. Special inquiries to Danny: 1. have you met the Hungarian guests? I understand they are back in Budapest now. 2. Any progress with the mystery lady on the Yahoo flyer? --GGPA
