That may be the point exactly. If you work under the assumption that he wants to leave the list but is reluctant to remove himself, the question "Why?" comes to mind. If he wants to be gone from the list but feels addicted to it as he does to cigarettes, then the only thing he can do to ensure that he will get off the list and stay off is by getting kicked off and being black-listed. That is only one possibility, though. Michael Harney [EMAIL PROTECTED] We do not inherit the Earth from our parents; we borrow it from our children. - Native American Phylosophy
