I am trying to > determine if there is any specific semantics to being ancient. I may be misreading you, but are you merely asking what the 'O' mark means? I.e. the conditions necessary for an article to be considered ancient?

Sorry if I misunderstood you and the above was obvious. Best regards, Adam -- "We've reached a special place... Spiritually... Adam Sjøgren ecumenically... grammatically." asjo@koldfront.dk
