Fer Petes sake Dale, Sean contacted his uplink over your queries and that uplink was Janis, are you saying Janis shouldnt have broached this to avoid hurting your sensibilities? If you had used more diplomacy and tact from the git go, all that could have been avoided. Of course we all know diplomacy and tact arent a part of your modis operandi as also evidenced in how badly you screwed up the bridging negotiations last fall with your dictating tone, yes I have copies of the emails now. == Ross http://www.the-estar.com:8080 ross@the-estar.com or rcassell@home.com ICQ = 5305939 ....
