But it is generally accepted that they are well within their rights to be doing it the way they are doing it. One might try to *convince* them to change, but ACT has made their position on the matter quite clear. It has been discussed to death already, and ACT remains unswayed by the argments given. Unless there's some new compelling rationale that no-one has yet thought of, it doesn't seem to be a productive discussion to be engaging in. -- T.E.D. -----------== Posted via Deja News, The Discussion Network ==---------- http://www.dejanews.com/ Search, Read, Discuss, or Start Your Own
