I suppose that is true. I remember taking those standardized tests as a kid and always being amazed when the teacher would say, "if your name doesn't fit in the blanks". Huh? It always seemed like the number of spaces for the last name went half way across the page! And I was always done filling in those stupid little circles (with a number 2 pencil) way before everyone else. You would be amazed how many people can mishear a simple name like "Horn". I get "Horan", "Doran", "Warren", "Smith"... (OK, maybe not that last one...) - jmh _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
