Isn't that the same thing as calling the new boyfriend of your ex- girlfriend to tell him what he might expect in the future based on your past experience with her? Would YOU really appreciate a call like that? Would you trust that the advice was unbiased, open and honest? Would you really believe that the old boyfriend was just like you and that the circumstances hadn't changed at all in the interim? -- Tom Schmidt Madison, WI ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
