John--
Amazing how defensive people can get over word usage! But then, I got on my
trusty white steed when a computer person tried to get me to use post office
as one word because the e-mail documentation did it that way.
Some people feel better when their "constructive" criticism has a nasty edge
to it. I don't know why.

To all of you who questioned my education, manhood, and ancestry
for even considering using thru, I suggest that you pick up a book
on Net etiquette. I can take constructive criticism as well as the
next person, but I thought some of the replies were down right
rude!
