True, and for that reason I would be surprised, maybe even offended if *any* random image was sourced from Internet. > Please, educate users to expect activating controls clearly > labelled as "random" to do random things!

It is difficult to devise a moral code of conduct in the sense of software development, (i.e military use, movie making -- porno movies vs sex education movies vs animal mating habits). I think it boils down to what is considered offensive. If it is the sysadmin who decides what is offensive he/she should at least know of it!! The sysadmin may get the sack :-( The public won't blame the sysadmin they'll blame the big red swirl. -- Chrisb. ======= -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
