Interesting confusion between "profiting" and "profiteering". You'd think an editor would catch that, but maybe at the LAT they don't see the difference. (Profiteering is the sale of goods in short supply. Thanks to the WoSD, inmates are never in short supply.) -- Steve Furlong Computer Condottiere Have GNU, Will Travel The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
