OFF TOPIC Sorry about that Ron. Words are one of my hobbies. Some people collect stamps, others collect baseball cards, I collect words. There was a time when people actually gave me presents which consisted of words I'd never heard before. I got to add haruspex and solecism to my collection just that way! One of my greatest pet peeves is when we take a perfectly good word or phrase, like interface (from physical chemistry) and try to sound very erudite by making a verb out of it and substituting it for communicate. Another one that really irritates me is "paradigm shift". It's been really good interfacing with you, TTFN Paul
