Thom, After reading the first of the annoying one use "ignore thread" in your favorite MUA. It's much easier applying your will on your stuff than it is applying your will/ideas on others. I have had good friends refuse to acknowledge me anymore after hurting the feeling the had against criticism of the idea they had. Sure, it would be easy if everyone self moderated... and followed the rules. You seem to have a problem with it to. I know I bend them heavily... of course you haven't SEEN me ... but needless to say 330# does make a convincing argument. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] REMEMBER ED CURRY! http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry
