Thanks for a reasoned response - prudence FTW! I would venture to guess that most of us fall in the former camp to some extent; I certainly do, but am still skeptical of the hand-wringing that seems to happen all too often in our industry. Guess I've heard (and made) far too many excuses to be swayed very easily. As an aside, it would be far easier for 3rd-party developers to add this and other features themselves if SCM (even read-only) were available. Maybe this year? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
