In my experience this is likely to be a PHB-imposed restriction. They seem to thing that permies are more likely to be "company men" and will be more easily cajoled into doing things beyond the call of duty for the love of the company. Of course, they also seem to be more likely to carry pagers 24x7 for no extra money - whereas no sane contractor would consider such a thing :) Dave... -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "Let me see you make decisions, without your television" - Depeche Mode (Stripped)
