Please include some modest reference to the person or news article to which you are responding and people will have a better idea of what you are saying. 1) Notes users sometimes forget that not everyone on the net is as fortunate as they are (notes groups responses with the original article). 2) The particular response you are flaming about quotes the relevant passages from the original article. I consider this to be sufficient information to understand what is being discussed even if you don't. Scott McEwan pur-ee!uiucdcs!mcewan
