Are they ignorant or stupid? If they are only ignorant, then there might be a chance to teach them. If they are stupid, then you're likely going to wind up wasting CPU cycles. I'm glad nobody here has asked such a question. When I read your first message, I couldn't stop laughing. Likely not a good response to an auditor's question. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
