Gosh, none of those definitions answer his point.

golly, here i thought one would actually look up a defination or two that he maybe fuzzy on, before making a foolishly blind statement like that.
Allow me to look up some words for you.

em·is·sar·y
/ˈeməˌserē/
noun
noun: emissary; plural noun: emissaries
a person sent on a special mission, usually as a diplomatic representative.

I would say everything Woot listed would be considered a special seeing how these are not everyday interventions.

If any of the more intelligent members want to learn about Zoroastrianism, Mary Boyce's book on the subject is the way to go.

Sorry, drippy, it has too many big words for you.

So minnie will you be going to the AF'ers get together in denver next summer?

Yes they are special. At the same time they are active interventions and not passive ones, i.e. deeds, not words.

Ooooh I want to play!

Messanger > Emissary

synonyms: envoy, ambassador, delegate, attaché, consul, plenipotentiary;

Emissary > delegate

synonyms: representative, envoy, emissary, commissioner, agent, deputy, commissary

delegate > agent

synonyms: medium, means, instrument, vehicle

agent > vehicle

So the messenger is a '63 Lincoln town car!!
Find the cure for Fundementia!

I don't like to drive that much. Besides, I'd have to board my dogs.

I like my dogs. They are so much smarter than you.

I notice you missed emphasizing part of that definition, so I thought I'd give you a hand. Emissaries aren't soldiers, bodyguards, or laborers, which were the examples Chad used.

The next time you so graciously look up a word for us, do everyone involved a favor and read the entire definition.

His cold, black heart?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
