<rant> In fact, nobody _NEEDS_ email, because we could just FTP text files around and then IM each other to say "I dropped a message in your FTP inbox." But in real twenty-first-century life, our users expect email to be a combination of near-real-time communications and file transfer, and since they're the people who are responsible for our getting paid it seems worthwhile to deliver what they expect instead of getting hung up on the purpose of email as defined in 1970-whatever. </rant> -- Dave Pooser Cat-Herder-in-Chief, Pooserville.com "...Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in one pretty and well-preserved piece, but to slide across the finish line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, leaking oil, and shouting GERONIMO!!!" -- Bill McKenna
