Then you shouldn't say you speak with "one voice" because that implies unanimity which is not the case here. You should say "the majority of the OGB feels X way." -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "We don't have enough parallel universes to allow all uses of all junction types--in the absence of quantum computing the combinatorics are not in our favor..." --Larry Wall
