On the plus side, this site gives us 2 pages of nifty new things to pretend we think "ADA" posters are talking about. We should each pick a different one, to amush the next hapless newbie with. I'll take "Action for Dysphasic Adults". :-) --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html No trees were killed in the sending of this message.
