Hmmm....very interesting. I see your point. Reminds me kind of what I see in SpiceWorks, in terms of users voting to "spice up" (or down) answers, and the OP marks the Best Answer and Helpful Posts. Maybe I'll have another look and reconsider. The audience viewing this "forum" would NOT be a technical audience, so hence my trepidation. -- Mike Babcock, MCP MB Software Solutions, LLC President, Chief Software Architect http://mbsoftwaresolutions.com http://fabmate.com http://twitter.com/mbabcock16 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
