That's akin to saying "I have blood pressure, it's why I have to see the doctor". If that is an insult, fine. Shame it couldn't be based on something that would illustrate a stinging riposte and not a misunderstanding. Hammo

Density influences whether something will float, depending (of course) on the density of the medium it is meant to float in. --- Cheers PeterC [aka MildThing] '01 Yamaha FJR1300 www.dmcsc.org.au http://eladesom.com.au/ulysses/ # 37181 |
