A basic premise of that work is that the premier element of style is avoiding simple errors of grammar and usage. The author of the preceding article should read it, as should everyone else. (It should be required of anyone posting news!) I guess all this makes me a type 1 person. Billie Goldstein BTL Neptune (...npois!bsg)
