I continue to regard any radical personality change which is induced without the informed consent of the original person to be the murder of one conscious entity followed by the creation of another one occupying the same body. Getting sick of this group, maybe I'll leave it in peace... Eric J. Wilner, sdcsvax!sdccsu3!ee163cz (Gumby the Meddler)
