Merrill, I bow to your superior insight. It makes sense, and makes me re-evaluate my position on the matter.

I've often wondered about the cops that I see reading email and playing solitaire while driving. No, not while sitting at a red light. While the car is _in motion_ and the cop is _at the wheel_. The last time I asked a cop about his questionable driving habits (in a civilian vehicle), he responded that he had been professionally trained. I'm glad the police academy includes a course on moving red queen to black king while making a left-hand turn. -- Joseph http://blog.josephhall.com/ /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
