In a message dated 98-06-14 01:59:39 EDT, you write:

<< Its not so much what pi means to someone,
its what pi means to _you_ that matters. >>

to many people pi means 3.14, to others it is 3.1416, to some it is 3.1415927
some people *define* pi as the ratio of the circumfrence of a cirlce to the
diameter
so what does pi mean to you? :-)

meaning:

1. Actual or objective effect. Meaning is dependent on context; the same thing
can have different meanings in different contexts because the context
determines the effect. The meaning of an event is the effect it has on future
events. The meaning of a spoken or written word is the effect it has on its
audience. 2. Intended effect. The intended effect of a written word or speech
act is usually to induce a specific cognitive state in the mind of the
audience.
