I think you've missed the debate over Common Law and Civil Law definitions of contracts which has been going on for the last few days. You might find the last two weeks of MPL & Contract discussion useful. Consideration is apparently required only in common-law systems, and the civil-law nations' lawyers persist in translating a wildly different concept with the word "contract" -Brian -- Brian Sniffen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
