Although you >probably only _need_ to do one of these, there's no reason _not_ to do both, is >there? No, of course not. This has run further than it ought. Let me explain. Regardless of what you meant, when I read your comment first, I thought you were saying that no-one should share across the Internet (or should do something which would prevent that). I thought that was probably not what you intended, but since it clearly could be interpreted to mean that, then I felt it needed to be stated that that was not true. That is all - not an attempt to flame or even to inflame, just seeking to avoid misunderstanding - and the consequences of trying to sort out someone else who got in a mess as a result. -- John Underwood
