Re: provasive|Flaminius|flaminius@fastmail.fm|06/14/05 at 18:10:02|Flaminius|xx|0|218.231.194.172|Web search by "enstrong
" reveals little except that harbinger’s question turns up in several other fora. Are you sure this is not a non-wo
rd?
"Provasive" looks like a misspelling of pervasive. E.g., pervasive computing retrieves more than 2,
230,000 hits but provasive computing only nine.

PRO.- an argument
