I did say I wasn't getting at you in particular, but what I dislike is being bombarded by the broadcast media with "potential this" and "possible that", when only a few years ago no-one would have dreamed of putting the extra word in. We even heard of someone being charged with an alleged crime recently, which is plain nonsense. A risk is a risk, no matter how indirect it starts out. But this is all way off-topic, so I propose to pipe down. No-one's likely to be convinced anyway. -- Rgds Peter. Linux Counter 5290, 1994-04-23.
