Ooh, sorry! Neither of you wins the fabulous dinette set, but you're still eligible for our amazing consolation prizes. Here's an analogy. Say you want people to wear seatbelts. You might: (1) Install a buzzer that go off for 10 seconds after a car starts unless the driver's seatbelt is fastened; or (2) Install a buzzer that never shuts off while the buckle is undone; or (3) Disable the ignition while the driver's seatbelt is unfastened. IMAO (2) is no more effective than (1), but far more annoying, and therefore hateful. But really, this is getting into hates-people territory, and we've spent too much time there recently. Sean
