IRC was purely a "discussion". No decisions were made or policy discussed. Hans made the change by personal fiat because he's the list admin and can. He's normally the best type of person, but this time he made a mistake. (So everyone dog pile on him until he recognizes his mistake!) -- Stuart Jansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED], AIM:StuartMJansen> âThe programmer, like the poet, works only slightly removed from pure thought-stuff.
