That is what the second list is for. See: http://www.amasci.com/weird/wvort.html "VORTEX B: Besides "vortex-L", there is also 'vortexB-L.' This is a secondary forum which has no rules. We use it for extremely off-topic discussions, and also as a flameproof place for any groups who feel a need to engage in verbal fisticuffs." Speaking of B lists and B-this-or-that, I have learned that you can get influenza-B even after getting an influenza shot. You get both the needle and the disease, or what the Japanese call a bee stinging a crying face (adding insult to injury). If it isn't going to work, they could at least make it a nasal spritz. - Jed
