I have been perplexed by this for quite a while, and now I would just like an explanation. - wells oliver / s0ewoliv@vcu.edu [ "you be the lighthouse in the storm and i'll be the ship filled with a thousand dead souls" ] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
