MP: LoL. Leave it to an engineer to sully a perfectly good analogy AND with a straight face give a wholly logical explanation of why our house can't have a front door. ;-) So then, unless the engineer left us a sledge in the house, windows are all we can use to get out, and we'd better get the door guys to help us figure out how to open them. Or Lilywhite Lilith ;-) Moq_Discuss mailing list Listinfo, Unsubscribing etc. http://lists.moqtalk.org/listinfo.cgi/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org Archives: http://lists.moqtalk.org/pipermail/moq_discuss-moqtalk.org/ http://moq.org.uk/pipermail/moq_discuss_archive/
