Beauregard, Well, I can understand that. But, you know, whenever a group of people get together for a face-to-face conversation, everyone will not follow the same rules. Some people know how to listen, others don't, some people interrupt, etc. It's not a perfect world. In my experience, perfectionsists are very unhappy people, because they find they cannot control everything to the nth degree. Sometimes it's better to put up with people's idiosyncrosies....and even learn to appreciate their differences. Why should we all be clones of each other? Scott Scott |

OK what? Do you mean 'Replace ".invalid" with ".uk" to reply by e-mail' OK? Are you OKing the bit about browsers disallowing window movement etc. Are you OKing the anchor element up there? It's bloody hard to tell. What about a little bit of trimming. You know, get rid of all the stuff (including sigs) that don't pertain to your two letter reply. What you have here is almost as bad as top posting -- Cheers Richard. rf |
