Dear yoyoma: Good point! It's from the _Netiquette_ by Virginia Shea (published by Albion Books, 1994). I omitted and modified it little bit. I think it's also a "netiquette" that mentioning reference/original author is sufficiently necessary when you qoute. Thank you for your pointing "fingers" at me. :-) Happy internet'ing! ----------------------------------------- Mountain is mountain, water is water. --------------------------------------- J jhan@ucsd.edu
