This method is guarenteed to be 100% effective given it is used without any compromises. Why don't we occassionally try: abstenence. {burdvax,allegra}!psuvax!fike Whenever I try abstinence I find I have to "compromise" so much it is not worthwhile. (Also, I tend to get rather jumpy and when we go out my friends have to keep me on a leash). --Judy McMullan
