standard construction in jargon, because there's always some idiot out there where things DON'T work, and they want to get uppity about it. See also the overuse of "should". _______________________________________________________________ I'm not bothered by 'may', 'might' and 'should', but I'm totally ticked off by 'like'. ~Everything~ is 'like' this or 'like' that.
