Yes, exactly. I agree 100% with you (including the microsecond amusement value of lmgtfy). Besides the link to the SERP I also provide a link to what I consider the best result found on that page. Sometimes people were able to find the result, and thought it was not right. Or were not able to find the best solution out of the hundreds offered by Google. And some people are ashamed of telling that they have used Google, and couldn't find it. -- John Bokma j3b Blog: http://johnbokma.com/ Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/j.j.j.bokma Freelance Perl & Python Development: http://castleamber.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
