So if I tell that I'm afraid this mechanism will be abused (and believe me, I really wanted to trimm out BLESSING stuff also for the same reason) and you say "you can't see how" there is not much we can discuss. You know how I think, there is no need to wait for me to reconsider, because I don't believe this will happen with arguments like "I don't think", "I don't agree", etc. Attilio -- Peace can only be achieved by understanding - A.
