Thanks--I guess that's not surprising.  Well into the 2000s, most Hindi

         of a divine mind, where the whole universe is viewed and
         understood at the same time... we have invented libraries
         because we know that we do not have divine powers, but we
         try to do our best to imitate them." --Umberto Eco
