You probably think that's an absurd notion that nobody would ever enact, and mean to show how absurd it is to outlaw `host -l` by drawing an analogy with outlawing knives. Such an argument is dependent upon the assumption that the guy listening to you thinks it's absurd to outlaw knives. Before making that assumption, however, you should have a look at laws regarding knives in Scotland. There's no end to the absurdity of law. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] Anonymous: "Eat your crow early, while it's young and tender.
