Michael, I'm in total agreement with you and Greg for that matter here! Always amazes me when some one posts a location specific posting. Especially one that is off-topic like "Happy Thanks Giving" and automatically assumes that the rest of the list not based in their country or location would know or care what they are on about?

Well, I don't honestly know whether it was today or yesterday, but I'd like to wish everybody a happy Thanksgiving, or if you don't celebrate it, have a nice Friday. Except those of you uncool enough to begrudge anybody a moment of pleasure/day off/whatever purely on the basis of their nationality or physical location in which case I hope you suffer miserably. ;) Ross London, England. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
