What people post is irrelevant to me; I can tell from the subject line whether or not I wish to read the message. That is, if the subject line is indeed appropriate. I could find nothing in the above article that dealt with either Vermont or Hummingbirds. Kind friends, when you use a "followup" command to post an article, please do remember to change the subject while building your article. It makes for a good deal less confusion for your readers! Not that this has anything entirely to do with birds, but being a fan of both hummingbirds and Vermont (by default), I was disappointed when I got to the actual text that came under those two subject headings. -- Sam Conway * What shape do you usually have? dragon@eleazar.dartmouth.edu * Mickey Mouse shape?
