Okay, thanks. Now is "guère épais" a group of some kind, like Oulipo ?

Didn't mean to suggest yet another pun. It's just that casual googling seemed to indicate a group of some kind called "guère épais". --Dan _____________________________________________________________________ "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that certain je ne sais quoi." --Peter Schickele
