Granvin) Organization: Dr. Ho Laboratory and Day Care Center Lines: 21 Maybe this is a little too obvious, and that's why I haven't seen it even mentioned at all (or else it was too obvious, so I passed right over it :-), but has anyone, who has problems with Portal (or any other site, for that matter) ever bothered to _call_ them? It just seems a simple direct approach that yields amazing results, or in the absolute least, a much clearer understanding of what is going on, or going to be going on... Since portions of the Portal map have been used as "ammunition" here, and the name(s) and phone numbers of contacts are on that map, and since Portal answers their phones, except when they're not around, where they leave an answering machine on (and have been known to reply to messages :-), I'm sure that actually having a short, complete and perhaps even gratifying conversation wouldn't be a terrible task. -- "The greatest minds in physics Robert J.
