I too found it rather cold and unfeeling, which is not like us. In the past, we have sometimes named a release after the person, and given a bit of a tribute to them in the release document if this is OK with the family. I remember this with Clare Lotion, for instance. Somehow Marko's death went un-noticed which is sad, and why I made mention of it. Valorie -- http://about.me/valoriez
