I agree with you, Andy, and brought this point up earlier. Ray's response was, "You cannot 'order' a knife from yourself. 'Order' is a word which has a meaning too
and we cannot arbitrarily choose to ignore it."

Ray,

Sorry I didn't get a chance to comment before you started the poll, but I do not agree with either of the definitions you posted. I prefer the definition I came up with earlier, or that modified by Andy in a later post. So, I abstain from casting a vote.
