I agree with you here. But what often happens in a slow series of postings is that people see 9 out of 10 parts and *panic*. You then see a bunch of "I'm missing part 10" messages, but no one seems to admit they jumped the gun when part 10 comes dribbling in the following day. So, when (if) you switch over to a "metered posting" method, be sure to let people know that they have to start being patient. -- Wayne Davison \ /| / /| \/ /| /(_) davison%drivax@uts.amdahl.com davison@drivax.UUCP (_)/ |/ /\| / / |/ \ ...!amdahl!drivax!davison
