Anything will go by me, as long as you do not expect me, whose programming skills are zero, to manually do a whois, even of 10% of "tens of thousands of names" :-) And just imagine I find out the person who claims the highest number was cheating and number 2 has to be checked as well... I do see your point though. So any solution is alright with me, that does not ruin my keyboard and fingers. Anyway, we will have to stick to the one email address per participant. It would be quite easy (I think, see disclaimer above about my programming skills) to count then in the whois database for <SARCASM> , say, someone at Verio. </SARCASM> -- Marc Schneiders ------- Venster - http://www.venster.nl [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] My best domain name?
