I believe someone spoke of the ability to abstract and generalize as being a skillset? Note that this same observation applies to most industries (especially the music business, which is why I did a doubletake reading this). I'd say it is the endgame of all large economic organizations to wallow in the mire of their own need to survive. ------ Dave Hayes - Consultant - Altadena CA, USA - [EMAIL PROTECTED] >>> The opinions expressed above are entirely my own <<< Sleeping is to hunters as excitement is to students.
