that would be because a quite radical and controversial change was disguised as a minor "editorial change", so most developers assumed it wasn't very important and ignored it. i know that i almost did. i completely ignored the thread until after the second call for votes...and even after that, i just read the proposal and didn't bother reading much of the discussion. craig -- craig sanders <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The next time you vote, remember that "Regime change begins at home"
