Indeed. Paying for mistakes like that will make you much smarter. I've lost 2 jobs and in each case the mistake was a simple keystroke.

Agreed. This isn't a technical problem; it's a management problem. I had a young operator once who replied 'U' to a message - apparently because that's what you *do* when a WTOR comes up. It made a mess and I chewed her out for it, reducing her to tears. But I learned something from that as well, and improved training, and nobody on my staff made the same mistake again. -- David Andrews A. Duda and Sons, Inc.
