True, but it is significant that the Telegraph is one of the most influential papers in Northern Ireland. It is also a pro-Unionist publication, so their metric stance cannot be dismissed as a politically motivated one (as for example, a similar article in say An Phoblacht could be). It is certainly heartening to see this opinion expressed. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Wade | EMail: tee dot wade at eurokom dot ie EuroKom | Tel: +353 (1) 296-9696 A2, Nutgrove Office Park | Fax: +353 (1) 296-9697 Rathfarnham | Disclaimer: This is not a disclaimer Dublin 14 | Tip: "Friends don't let friends do Unix !"
