Interesting concept Jason, but it would leave a paper/e-trail that would be hard to hide. There are actually businesses that specialize in e-searches during the discovery process of legal proceedings these days-- and their expertise makes the geek squad look like the cub scouts. While such e-conspiracy theories make for interesting speculation, in reality it would be a fool hardy attempt-- but stranger things have happened. That said, it would be unwise to discount such possibilities. Michael Hohmann Linden Hills REMINDERS: 1. Think a member has violated the rules?
