Just trying to work out if you're taking the pee out of me or not steve :) Yeah, i know the obvious reference to the fact that there were 3 and now there's only two....and the title of their album might suggest that thats what they are getting at....but i remember reading *somewhere*, (possibly on the warp website) that it was a medical term. So it did freak me out a little when my friend mailed me that document...particularly as the title of the document was "Threes". -- Ben Coffer http://www.hybridgame.demon.co.uk/
