I would like to have the limit around 5.000, but that is not feasible because of constructs like these. Besides that, I think that broken design (I consider listing all newsitems a bad design), is something that is quite difficult to guard against. Especially that guards like these are making the system less flexible, and may bite you later. -- Rico Jansen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) "You call it untidy, I call it LRU ordered" -- Daniel Barlow
