This is theoretical on my part - what's your EXPERIENCE? In your terms, the issue was human behavior related. I certainly agree with you that there are some questions that do not allow for a second chance while some do (and this was one). So far we haven't had to make any of the big expensive decisions. (Hopefully this spring) Up until a certain point (the point of having invested significant money personally) people will be objecting to decisions by leaving. A few already have. After that there'll be fewer options and we should get better about working things out. take care Jake --- * RM 1.3 00940 * RoboMail -- The next generation QWK compatible reader!
