So you're now saying willful negligence on your part puts you at risk? Imagine that.

It's preposterous for someone who so self-righteously dismissed any disagreement by others on this subject to say that. > if you are telling me to remove myself from the list over this Unlike you, I'm not telling anyone to do anything.

That's what's out of line. -- Kontra http://counternotions.com ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
