Actually, I wouldn't as "trash" is not a word we use on top of the world. That seems to be a peculiar word used by those of you on the underside of the world (must be that blood rushing to your head). :-) Ian PS. We use "rubbish" rather than "trash" to mean to denigrate something. We use garbage to mean what those in Nth America call trash - all that stuff you no longer want - so those people that collect our garbage are known as garbologists. Though strictly this is a word that should apply to Larry E. (or was is Scott McN.) as "ologist" basically implies "one who studies". ************************************************************************ * Tracking #: F775D41D5045794D9C6B109A8A10B30ABE4C532F * ************************************************************************ * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * To post a message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * To leave this list visit: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/leave.html * * Contact the list manager: * mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Forum Guidelines Rules: * http://www.techservinc.com/protelusers/forumrules.html * * Browse or Search previous postings: * http://www.mail-archive.com/proteledaforum@techservinc.com * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
