Oooh i like this analogy...lets take it further: Driver: "We have to stop for gas now" Passenger: "No we don't, we can go another 50 miles" Driver: "No we can't, this gas gauge doesn't work, it's 5 gallons off" Passenger: "Oh yeah, prove it?" Driver: "You'll just have to trust me, otherwise the proof will be running out of gas" Passenger: "You ultraconservative!" Driver: "Gas hater!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:165517 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
