"Stunning?" Let's see....Vendor A makes claims in public, using traditional tools such as press releases, ads, and vendor A's own web sites. Vendor B decides to refute Vendor A's claims on Vendor B's web site. And in this case, "Humor" is defined as "making ordinary, uncreative advertising statements but putting it into a newspaper-like format." Mere page mechanics. Wow. I'm stunned. Quick, where's my "add to bookmarks" function key for this valuable new web resource? <yawn> Scott -- -----------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Scott Courtney | "I don't mind Microsoft making money.
