Agreed. This came up once b4. What the Mdk and other folks wanted to say is in the archives. The only reasons to bring it up again are 1) you are a newbie to the list and didn't see the other (in which case common netiquette dictates that you lurk for awhile first, certainly before postin anything off topic, and you should have seen it if you did) 2) you don't follow the list seriously enough to have seen it, 3) despite your disclaimers, you DO want it to turn into a long and drawn out thread. I posted to the previous thread, so will leave it at that. BTW, some general questions I don't see answered on the cooker page or in the FAQ about the list.. Archive?.. but I'll put that in a more appropriate top level post.. -- Duncan "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
