Hail Thee,

> Hmmmmmmmmmm. Well, maybe, but if you are standing *between* two people, you can't be one of them.

Illustrative examples are almost as wonderful a tool as a handcrafted statistics :) If you have to choose between 10 people numbered 1 to 10 you might well be one of them. Me, I would stand at position number 10, so that I would definitely choose myself.

> If you are standing between a rock and a hard place, you can't be on the rock or the hard place.

Whilst it would definitely not be easy to be the rock or the hard place, you can certainly be (sprawled) on the rock :-) Problem is you would also be quite flat ....

> I think you are looking at it with a math mind,

Definitely. That is, BTW, the reason why polls with 100.4% positive votes will catch my interest 11 times out of 10. But I might be drifting slightly off topic and into cheesburgers here.

> and since 1-10 looks like math, I'll concede the point.

Heh, I was actually about to go into mathematical interval notation in my first reply, but caught myself in time :) My basic reasoning : if I get that the slightest bit wrong, in a forum where I am a toal newby,I'll very likely and up between a rock and a hard place.
