Mike, don't get your shorts all tied up in a bunch over a matter of terminology. That's like Sylvia Webb picking on me for not adding the "-5" to ISO 15000. These kind of flames must be what Rich Legge is referring to.
After all, we have George W. Bush saying "...there's rumors on the Internets..." (http://politicalhumor.about.com/od/bushismvideos/v/rumorsinternets.htm). I don't expect the President of the United States to know technical details about the 'Net - or even what it's called. And after listening to C-level executives for awhile now, there's no longer any surprise at the awkward mixture of singular and plural. These are niggling details that are beneath the dignity of POTUS. It's like knowing the names of heads of state from Third World countries. Or Canada. William J. Kammerer Novannet, LLC.

X12 defines EDI standards in the U.S. This is done internationally (not just in Europe) by UN/CEFACT, who maintains the UN/EDIFACT standard. --------------------------------------------------------------- Michael C.
