You (and yes, now me, too) are cross-posting this to 19 totally un-related newsgroups. Even the clipper forum is a programming language forum, NOT a legal issues forum. Please take this to private email. You should be aware that MCI has started cancelling the accounts of users who persist in this sort of behavior. While none of you may be customers of MCI directly, some of the providers involved probably are, and your providers may be at some risk here even if you are not. -- Dave Parker dlparker@dlpinc00.com
