Dan K says: But the resource allocated is more theorhetical than real. Computer science people sniff there noses in disrespect for the material world and propose in their 1 and 0 view all things are possible. All resources; (like numbers) are unlimited. All notations can absorb and exchange anything... Music, ideas, holograms, and by virtue of CAD drawings, even physical goods. Genes, etc! So its a fun way to show off, and doesn't hurt anything. Of course, there is the nastyness of that "camel nose under the tent" people problem, but I just don't think there are that many wierdo candidate scripts to encode. Besides, since there is no "real" user base there is almost no criterea for correctness. Like it or not, that matters. It might be an idea to tag requests fulfilled for these are "periferal" in some manner, such that, for instance, requests for changes or additions are managed at a lower level of urgentcy. Regs to all, Dan K
