Geez..you can't even joke about this apparently.  OK.  Whatever.  I'm 
easy.  I *did* get the point BTW...

MAN!  There are some passionate individuals here.  In fact, a few 
minutes after my lighthearted post I received a flood of IP spoofing 
attacks on my router (you know who you are).  Man!  Take it easy, grab a 
beer (or whatever tickles your fancy) and chill.  Code something - that 
usually helps me.  Just don't use VB or C++.  ;o)

Markus.
