"Changes are only reported once" is repeated, that's a stylistical issue that jumps even into my non-native eyes. Additionally, the long second sentence is kind of hard to parse. I still prefer my version, but that may be a language issue. Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
