Same here. The dinging Nick is developing seems pretty far from what we called dinging in Jo Anne's day. The idea of anonymous dings makes me nervous, plus I always thought of a ding as merely a message telling the dingee (or other small boat ;-) ) to cool off, not a mechanism for slowing down the dingee's posting. ______________________________________________________________________ Steve Sloan .........
