We've already READ the message...Let's keep the volume down! /* End of text from convexs:net.sf-lovers */ True, the entire message is seldom needed. HOWEVER (the dreaded "however"), I don't know what system you're on, but I often get the replies before (WAY before) the message. If a person is going to "waste his time" wading through all this trash on the net, it's nice to know what the holy hell people are talking about... The bastards just won't let you live... blues, II
