SofaSpud, I think you'll find that the safety net can turn into a hammock pretty easily. This reminded me of an unrelated but funny thing said to me by a former co-worker. He and another engineer were up for a promotion to supervisor in our newly expanded department. The other fellow got the promotion and became our boss. Reflecting on the situation about a year later, my co-worker (an engineer from England) said, "I gave him enough rope to hang himself but the fool made a bloody hammock out of it and he's been lying in it ever since". :) Chas
