Because thats the convention on these lists that people are used to and prefer in general. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Oracle-compatible database company ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
