I don't know about you, but I think it's all getting a little ridiculous about similiar names, and all. Consider this. I was in a restaraunt, and they had a little flyer on the table. Don't remember exactly who it was, but every phrase (5 of them) had a registered trade mark symbol next to it. It's getting unsafe to say anything without being sued. One day, anything you say will have to be qualified by "and [whatever] is a registered trademark of [whoever]". Phooey on all that. I love America, land of the lawsuit... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- John C.
