I know this is nitpicky, but I did not write that. Once again I would like to ask people who are using software that automatically includes parts of articles to check that they are not attributing text which was merely quoted in a subsequent article to the wrong author. This is very annoying. In a critical case you could even be sued for libel by attributing to someone comments which they did not make. In this case, I *quoted* that text in my article. The original was, I believe (take that as a disclaimer) written by Greg Skinner. (Note that here I do not state that as though it were a fact, contrary to the above quote from "my" article). --Greg
