I've heard that Sears makes more on credit charges than on the merchandise itself. As far as pigs taking VISA, doesn't it seem a little obvious what their racket is? Highway robbers with all the power of the US government behind them! Disgusting! -- _____ /_____\ Have you hugged your beagle today? /_______\ Snoopy |___| ____|___|_____ ihnp4!ihuxl!seifert
