Yep. Log it, especially the path, and drop it in the bit bucket. Or at least, this is what I intend to do. Other sites are perfectly free to do otherwise. I actually considered posting it in junk, but then if a non-munged version of the article happened along it would get rejected. I could fix this, but I think it would take more hacking than I'm interested in doing. Hmm. I can just see Brad getting back at me for my references lines by adding bogus checksums to all his articles. Well, if he wants all his articles to get dropped, I guess that's ok... --- Jef Jef Poskanzer jef@well.sf.ca.us {ucbvax, apple, hplabs}!well!jef "...for DEATH awaits you all, with nasty sharp pointy teeth!" -- Tim
