Uh oh, it's time to start registering and regulating >assault drain-openers! :-> How many movies and cartoons have there been in the last few decades glorifying Drano? How many do you expect there to be? How likely do you think it might be that a child understands that Drano is a poison? The very reason you use it as an example is that children sometimes eat it because they *don't* know. So no, I don't think we should regulate Drano in that context. Pick another example. Try kitchen knives. I've got an answer for that one, too. -- Pete Gontier // EC Technology // gurgle@netcom.com
