This has been hashed out on so many technically-oriented lists, that it almost appears as a troll. A friend of mine manages, if I recall correctly, to answer this in a signature block, pointing to a logical discontinuity inherent in placing an answer prior to the question. But it gets worse, when some, particularly newbies, reply to a post in order to start a completely new topic. And it gets even worse when some of us--particularly the most helpful ones--are subscribed to numerous technical lists and should review the context of the communication prior to responding. So, my response, and I daresay I speak for others, is for you to get over it. You should review the entire context of a communication in understanding it as well. -- David Benfell, LCP [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Resume available at http://www.parts-unknown.org/ NOTE: I sign all messages with GnuPG (0DD1D1E3).
