There is no such thing as "seargent" according to the Webster Dictionary. Nor is there such a word as "meaing". Any half (or quater)-way decent spell checker (not to mention a compiler which is supposed to know better) should have shot that post down at first sight. Before some "seargent" went loose with it :) [Note that I may make spelling mistakes too - it's just that I don't claim that I'm always right. Some automated checking would be just great. And that's the whole point...] > > If the army started court-marshalling > all those "get-the-job-done" seargents, > it would fall apart. What do you think the court-martial is for then? Or MP?
