True. Of course, it's important to know exactly when it's the time
for something...

Excuse my ignorance, but didn't Anaxamander have some relationship,
to the school of Paramenidies? (Who said that all change and motion
are illusionary, IIRC) I used to know back when I studied philosophy
in college, and when I read Coppleston's history, but I forget, and
am too lazy to search for Anaxamander on the internet right now. ;-)
(Besides, this could lead to a <gasp> philosophical discussion on
this echo.)
