Rob, My comments were not directed to you. My comment was directed at Jenda because Jenda's comments came across as flat not giving a da?? about people with phyiscal challenges and that is what I was attacking. And for the record I believe bottom posting makes more sense especially for anyone trying to read a post late in the process because it follows the natural way people read and write. If everyone involved in the thread is reading it from the start and no one will be trying to read it later then top posting is fine. Top posting does not flow in a natural order with mailing lists because they are archived. Rob you are so predictable and I don't even know you but I knew you could not leave my post alone. -- Jack Gates -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
