Well, just to chime in here, I think Scott said he was serious about donating 10 bucks as a fine, although it came off as flippant at first. This may be a UK US thing, or even a US vs all other english speakers thing, but I've noticed that non US english speakers have somewhat different nuances. What we USians sometimes perceive as insulting was in good faith intended in good fun. And vice versa. I've gotten into a few dustups with OZzies or limeys over that very miscommunication. Just an aside. Mostly I agree with you, eric. I think there's a lesson here for all of us, be more careful in how we say stuff, and if there appears to be a dustup pending, drop back, state what we really meant to say, and give the other guy the benefit of the doubt. But ya, Scott's lazy. So am I. Lazy is good if it means inventing better ways to do things. Lazy is bad if it means free riding or shortcutting to the point of causing problems. Just my toe tromping opinion. -- Larry Pieniazek - lpieniazek@mercator.com - http://my.voyager.net/lar http://www.mercator.com.

(...) I'll merely repeat myself, because I feel I was clear to start with. 1) You have done it in the past. 2) You have been chastised. 3) You have done it after being chastised. 4) You have shown no real remorse for your actions.
