Sorry, "Jose Maria". You have a grossly out-of-line sig, and I
don't read the posts of people who abuse the Usenet this way.

The Netiquette standard is a delimeter "-- " on a line by itself,
followed by a maximum of 4 lines, blank or otherwise.

It is supposed to be a _sig_, not a bulletin board. It is not
supposed to be *intrusive*.

Thank you anyway,

AC
