I certianly should, which is why I was asking questions. Note the question marks ("?") at the end of the senteces you quoted. That's generally the dead giveaway for a request for information. Sentences that contain "opining" generally end in a period, like this one. Somtimes I just have to be impressed with the sheer effort that must be involved in misunderstanding me so badly. :-) --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
