Cheers, Al and Kerry. I'd also like to add that I, for one, usually ignore
any post that begins with "URGENT" or a similar word. The exception is the
"URGENT - I'm suddenly getting a new error in a program I've been developing
for some time, and it's due tomorrow" post. But an "URGENT- I need to code a
searchable dictionary by tomorrow" post is one I'm happy to skip past.

2 cents,
Kurt
