Barb, I don't know whether you realize it or not, but your letter fairly reeks of snake oil (I am sure you will recognize it) :-) Therefore I have to ask you to declare your interest in flogging flagella. Do you have shares or something, or are you looking for a whip around? Cheers, M. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark Atyeo 51 Alexander Mackie Cct.
