The Australian coat of arms shows a kangaroo and an emu holding a shield. These two animals have something in common: they cannot walk backwards. Their anatomy does not allow it. That was PTD's problem. When caught in an error, he was completely incapable of backing out. His only option was to dig a deeper hole. He's the only person I've encountered with such a severe form of this disability. Some others came close, but they got out of the impasse by responding with a non sequitur. -- Peter Moylan peter@pmoylan.org http://www.pmoylan.org Newcastle, NSW
