But I think a closer analogy would be: the drug dealer stops selling out the front door, but there's so much leaking out the side door, windows, chimney etc. that the junkies still hang around. They just have to look a little harder, or go to any other crack house on the street where the front door is still wide open. Non-junkies just don't bother stopping by. -- Bob Daniel rgd@inforamp.net Toronto, Canada http://www.inforamp.net/~rgd
