Michael's response reminds me of being a teenager in a small town. There was a man there that owned a junkyard. Rather than attempt to maintain weed control with herbicides or a weedeater, the man bought a goat. The goat began eating weeds and making a wonderful dent in the overgrown areas of the junkyard, giving the man more space for his business. Furthermore, the goat became somewhat of a mascot, and customers would bring a carrot or a handful of veggies to feed the goat whenever they visited the junkyard. The goat was friendly, and would greet customers, happily bleating and begging for treats. The goat's horns, however, had a tendency to scratch the paint of their vehicles, so the junkyard owner wrapped the goat's horns in duct tape. This worked wonderfully, until the junkyard owner bought another goat to clean up a newly-acquired adjacent plot of land -- the goats ate the duct tape from each others' horns. Goats, like trolls, will eat almost anything. -- Floyd May Senior Systems Analyst CTLN - CareerTech Learning Network [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
