<p>You can say that, but <b>vay'</b> is not an indefinite subject.
It sounds in Klingon like the difference in English between <i>It's
known we kill prisoners</i> and <i>Someone knows we kill
prisoners.</i></p>
<p>My advice is to use <b>net</b> whenever possible, because it
deserves some love and you'll look spiffy using it.<br>
