Now, don't get me wrong--this is not exactly pushing my needle up into the red--I do have a life (such as it is), and there are much bigger fish to fry, or whatever metaphor you want to use, but...still, in the interest of confusion factor reduction, not to mention good karma, and even good dogma, it is always desirable to get correct the author of a given quote. Or something like that. Speaking of life, it's time to shut down the PC and get some dinner. CU. --Ron http://www.intrex.net/rwgarr/
