Lines: 9 Also, extra complexity in posting software is NEVER to no useful purpose. An article is posted once, but read (or briefly scanned) 10,000 times. The posting probably takes 10 to 15 minutes (or less) while the reading takes a combined 15 to 16 hours. Anything that makes posting harder is good. Anything that makes reading (or elimination) easier is good. -- Brad Templeton, Looking Glass Software Ltd. -- Waterloo, Ontario 519/884-7473
