according to webster's collegiate, "gaffer" (4th meaning) is a lighting technician for film or TV. IIRC "gaffer's tape" is named after these guys. No definition listed for "gaffa" which I haven't heard of before. Back to the topic - so far, I like both Gaffer and LASH. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky!
