No, I shouldn't. Please stop pretending that I (personally) am trying to force you (personally) to pay for what I (personally) want. I am not. You know it, though I suspect that you will claim otherwise. WE (individually) pay for what WE (collectively) want, understanding that none of us (individually) has a perfect knowledge of what we (collectively) SHOULD be doing. It's called a representative democracy. You could look it up. Dave _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
