You are very very quite about yourself, but your posts indicate someone who has never had to properly simplify a complex situation in order to succeed. I don't think I've corresponded with anyone who writes as though they believe that Murphy's laws never apply to complex systems, and that humans can do nothing but make things worse. Your posts make the antagoist of Earth a look protechnical. :-) Dan M. -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com – Enhanced email for the mobile individual based on Microsoft® Exchange - http://link.mail2web.com/Personal/EnhancedEmail _______________________________________________ http://mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l_mccmedia.com
