Dori, I don't know what YOUR copy of dictionary.com is smoking - but I have
a habit of rechecking such claims.

I don't mean you have some vested interest in spreading deliberate
disinformation about the word "workgroup" (I am not even sure you wear a
vest!) - it just didn't ring right to me, and here's what dictionary.com came
up with in my case (the right [key]stroke, see?!)

I must say I'm thoroughly enjoying this list (been lurking for the past
month or so), and this is my first posting, so - my apologies in advance if
I've broken a convention or two.

Cheers -
