The measure of a good journalist in the UK - especially a female one - is to look at the story that gets printed and compare it with the one submitted without bursting into tears. Some of the foulest expressions I have heard ladies utter have come from the mouths of journalists directed at sub-editors. When you see a piece of nonsense in the press - don't immediately blame the journalist. I have the luxury of being able to specialise - journalists have to write about blade servers one minute, TCP/IP v6 the next, and digital cameras after that - and get all the stories past both subeditors and legal beagles who knw MUCH less than they do. -- Phil Payne http://www.isham-research.com +44 7785 302 803 +49 173 6242039
