I just have to say, thanks, Stuart, for being who you are and pointing things like this out, over, and over, and over throughout the years. I'm sure you aren't the only one who cringed at this, but you are the only one who said anything and I'll bet someone who hadn't thought about it very much before reading this was educated. I know I've been in that position before. Bryan -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
