I agree, and I apologize. There's enough of that nonsense in the programming world, and I need to watch my cliches. I amend to wishing that librarians would either (a) grow a spine, or (b) get, you know, better legal advice when it comes time to play chicken with sole-providers. Which is less colorful, but perhaps more accurate. -Bill- -- Bill Dueber Library Systems Programmer University of Michigan Library
