Gautam, My comment was intended to be semi-humourous, and I should have put a smiley on it. It was also intended to be a somewhat mocking tautology: once Rome "ruled" an area, it mattered, and conversely, if Rome didn't "rule" it, it didn't matter. I now realize that my post might have been read by some as offensive and demeaning to those in some parts of the world, but it was certainly not my intention to insult anyone; I hope you didn't take it that way. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson
