I asked that he reply on the net. I have received e-mail from Brad declining to do so, but claiming that he is in fact a tireless toiler for peace, harmony, and tranquility. So, I will leave it up to y'all. Was I off-base? Or was I correct? Jeff Daiell P. S. So no one thinks this is Brad-bashing: I have defended his right to post racist humor, *and* his right to deal with GEnie. -- If a hungry man has water, and a thirsty man has bread, Then if they trade, be not dismayed, they both come out ahead. -- Don Paarlberg
