John, This is so wierd. I don't think you and I share a single opinion. And this includes your interpretation of what Janice said.

It is about the kind of people that drive trucks, not about the kind of people that have money. - Ross -- Office: 37 degrees, 25.212' N, 122 degrees, 04.965' W "Happy shall be he that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones" - Psalms 137:9
