I doubt we will have that kind of trouble with Stefano. He's got some decent mettle, and he's pretty intelligent (he does have a doctorate....).

I vote +1 to have him back in full swing. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
