If you think of the pound sign as a place holder similar to the use of the asterisk e.g., "you are being made out to be an a**," I think you'll catch my drift. Of course you then might a**ume that I have a filthy MIME. ;-) /Pete Weiss -- mailto:[log in to unmask] Tel: +1 814 863 1843 31 Shields Bldg; University Park, PA 16802-1202 USA (Please use my new e-mail address - no M/Frame mail)
