>The implication is that the original code was honest about privacy and then someone in the Administration didn't like the warning so it was commented out. That's not exactly the story you want to be pressing here. No, the implication is that the code was borrowed from somewhere else by a programmer who didn't see a reason to reinvent the wheel. >P.S. You should also ask yourself the question "why didn't the programmer delete the statement instead of commenting it out", LOL. Programmers I know comment out code when they expect that they will have to use it again later. If they know that it's unneeded, they delete it. Oh come on. I haven't programmed in years, but I know if I'm copying prefunctioning code, I don't permanently delete ANYTHING until I'm damned sure that deleting it doesn't break anything. I don't go back and delete the things I've made inactive until I clean up later. And sometimes you just miss a line. Seems to me like CGI's programmers were shoddy enough that they missed a lot of things. This is one hell of a reach. -Z
