I think this sums it up nicely. Thanks. Thanks for all the comments. I no longer find the idea of mixing things into packages like this to be objectionable after seeing the various arguments in favor of doing so. I think my objections from before had more to do with my tendencies toward being a compulsive organizer than in doing what is best for users, so I'm glad I asked so I could become aware of this and fix it. --Jay -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
