Seems that whenever a lively discussion of something gets going, response after response piles up and the exchange evolves, (as exchanges do) into something wholly unrelated to the original subject. And, dammit, nobody changes the subject line! Here I am, led to believe that I'm about to read the next comment on Reagan's mike test, and lo and behold, I get something about Lebanon or federal funding of abortions or something! C'mon, folks, let's take a few seconds and update the Subject: line when it no longer applies to the posting. Thank you, especially those who have been doing so already. -- [ I am not a stranger, but a friend you haven't met yet ] Ray Simard Loral Instrumentation, San Diego {ucbvax, ittvax!dcdwest}!sdcsvax!sdcc6!loral!simard
