I'm not sure I follow. Let me try to strain this analogy to the braking point: if I went to a party where you and some of your friends were hanging out, I might ask one of them, "Can you tell me where William Buckley is?" and they might say, "Bill is over there." They know that Bill and William are the same person but I don't have to know that to find you. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Oracle 10g Get certified on the hottest thing ever to hit the market...
