I don't have a problem with this. If I am burning something which does not have the inherent property to burn on its own, I would use {meQ}. I need to continue my action in order for the object to continue to burn - if I stop, then it stops burning.</font></pre><pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">Your thoughts?</font></pre><pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">gheyIl</font></pre>
