Hmmm.... I support Israel, yet I've never called you an anti-semite, a nazi, or a jew-hater. You're overgeneralizing, Jeroen. Please stop - it's terribly boorish to do so. I'm not going to further waste my time engaging in this flamewar, though - the old warning against trying to teach a pig to sing comes to mind.* Adam C.

Feel free to call whichever side in this you want the pig. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
