It seems to have something to do with the discussion, but I'm not sure what. Make of it what you will. "When I went through adolescence, people in grey suits wanted to force me to wear a green suit and go into a jungle and shoot at people in black pajamas who were shooting back, and people in blue suits would try to club me on the head if I complained." -- Richard Kennaway SYS, University of East Anglia, Norwich, U.K. Internet: jrk@sys.uea.ac.uk uucp: ...mcsun!ukc!uea-sys!jrk
