["Shoshanna Walker" <rosewalk AT concentric.net>]

I don't think you want to start THAT again - The phrase, of course, is in

tense.  We argued and argued and argued and argued about it several months
ago, as some here argued that it is no tense, and therefore permissable to
use it in the present tense
