How the hell you manage to type in that position I'll never know. In principle, I really ought to be able to kick my own buttocks - one of the training exercises for my field-hockey team is called hakkebillen - literally "kick buttocks", when you run along, relatively slowly, kicking your heels up behind you as high as you can go. Happily, my knees aren't flexible enough to allow contact between heel and buttock. -- Bill Sloman, Nijmegen

Your wild excursion from logic is irrational and doesn't help support your POV. \Don

We offered Iran basically free power plants in return for stopping enrichment. Iran only responds as "thinking about" the offer, and continues centrifuging. Do you think that is a reasonable response? We ought to put a hit team out for Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and any clerics that support him. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, P.E. | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona Voice:(480)460-2350 | | | E-mail Address at Website Fax:(480)460-2142 | Brass Rat | | http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | I love to cook with wine.
