You can be very well informed about something, and yet be completely wrong about it. Anyone who listens to a program that talks about news items every single day, is going to be "informed" to a somewhat high degree. (Makes me think of that misleading Miller Lite campaign...which boasted that in a poll, "Millter Lite has more taste than Bud Light". Uh huh, and dog shit has more taste than lettuce, but I'll stick with the latter, thank you.) -- Out into the cool of the evening Strolls The Pretender ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
