Hi :) I used to live in a country that had only 1 newspaper and it was only allowed to print good news. Even so many of the stories were quite hilarious and not always due to wondering why the article got published.
I do really like Murphy's Law. Especially of ways of tricking it into giving you what you really wanted in the 1st place. Most of us on this list really don't mind a bit of extra traffic because we were here before all the other forums, lists, Ask bots and such so we are used to dealing with much much higher volumes of traffic. One extra question or 2 that quickly gets marked as fixed really doesn't even get noticed. Regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Girvin R.
