Looking at worst case scenarios is not the way to make decisions (with the exception of contingency planning). The worst case scenario (maybe not *the* worst case scenario, but you get the drift) is that I'll open the refrigerator door and see various demons from antiquity flying around who then attack me and tear me to shreds. Is that a possibility? Definitely. Does this prevent me from going up and getting another Coke from the fridge? Not really. Yes, that whole bit was contrived and exaggerated, but making decisions based strictly on the worst case (or the best case, or even averaging the worst and best cases) is foolhardy, imo. -- Levi Ramsey [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Another January, another Bill Cowher choke-job GPG Key Fingerprint: 354C 7A02 77C5 9EE7 8538 4E8D DCD9 B4B0 DC35 67CD Currently playing: Corrosion of Conformity - Born Again for the Last Time Linux 2.4.20-0.4mdk 05:00:03 up 1 day, 13:37, 8 users, load average: 0.38, 0.28, 0.28
