I see that your reply to davidw was about actor/object; but I was replying to crayz, who was talking about "borrowing some DNA"/"being infected" ie. whether the effect was good or bad. hmmm... at least that's how I read him, anyway; but maybe he was also focusing on actor/object... regardless, I still say I have a valid point! :-) Good day, sir!
