If the metric name is removed, it should be put elsewhere, since the actual metric plotted on a given chart isn't shown anywhere else. -- Jesse Becker GPG Fingerprint -- BD00 7AA4 4483 AFCC 82D0 2720 0083 0931 9A2B 06A2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
