(Incidently, I heard the album which includes "Eat it" and it is a very amusing satire on modern materialistic life in plastic America). This brings up an interesting question. If your actions result in his MAKING money instead of losing it, why can't you charge him a fee for the service? I know that isn't practical, so don't post a followup to tell me that. -- Jim Kalmadge IX 1c415 8-367-0475 (312) 979-0475 ihuxw!kalm
