This is precisely what I've been telling you over and over and over again. No, it is not a motion. It is a property that doesn't mean motion of any kind. Yes, "spin" is a term that gives the wrong impression, and you have the wrong impression. This is why you should be using "fernification" rather than "spin", so that you won't get the wrong impression. > > Mitch Raemsch
