I am not aware of the reason why Mr. Droge should be consuming buckets of phalli, and, even if it is appropriate for him to do so, I don't believe that personal attacks, in general, are a good programming paradigm, for any project. They seem to more degrade the attacker than the target. -- Cheers, Leif -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
