I'll agree with this statement, as far as it goes. But this vital adjunct must not be omitted: A person who accepts a volunteer job has a responsibility either (1) to do the job or (2) to resign. Rich Salz is not doing his job. The obligation on him now is either (1) to resume the wonderful job he has done in the past, or (2) to resign and let someone else do it. In other words, Rich: "Lead, follow, or get out of the way." -- Chip Salzenberg at Teltronics/TCT , "I've been cranky ever since my comp.unix.wizards was removed by that evil Chip Salzenberg." -- John F.
