mr mark, wise decision. Didn't the Greeks call that 'hubris'? I've always wanted to look up that word and finally did... Encyclop‘dia Britannica hubris in classical Greek ethical and religious thought, overweening presumption suggesting impious disregard of the limits governing human action in an orderly universe. It is the sin to which the great and gifted are most susceptible, and in Greek tragedy it is usually the hero's tragic flaw. Perhaps... search.britannica.com Thanks for the new word. :) Gottfried
