Is not a ringing endorsement, I think.
It means I love you, because there's nobody else.

Because there's no one else on the Earth or I only love you?

Thanks

I agree, Pugachev, but it could go the other way, too, don't you think? Depending on context, couldn't it be saying, "No matter what, I love you. That is the baseline?"

Bud I think you are right. If my computer is set to default I suppose it always comes up a certain way. So I guess we can interpret that to mean unless I say differently, I love you.
Thanks again.
