Are you hoping that EVERYONE who is reading your stuff will be on a hardcopy terminal so they can get the full effect of your name being underlined? It's just amazing to me how many people do this with wild abandon, when a little reflection will reveal that the _ will be *gone* after you backspace over it and a little more of our lives will be GONE from us because you think you're being clever??? AAAAIGH!! Well, maybe they're not THAT bad, but Lord, they're not good. -- "Why don't you get a haircut? You look like a Chrysanthemum." -P. G.
