The word `right' is a perfectly legitimate adverb. Of the nine adverb definitions in my Webster's New World Dictionary, the seventh is `correctly or accurately'. Not only did Karl attack Ken with inexcusable venom, but he was squarely in the wrong in regards to his accusation. All 60 lines of it. -Ed Hall decvax!randvax!edhall
