But what do I know, I'm insured by the Maryland Auto Insurance Ripoff Fund.. *sigh* -- Matthew T. Russotto russotto@eng.umd.edu russotto@wam.umd.edu Some news readers expect "Disclaimer:" here. Just say NO to police searches and seizures. Make them use force. (not responsible for bodily harm resulting from following above advice)
