My guess is you haven't even tried, as that "experiment" of yours is pointless. If you think I'm _really_ saying "you shouldn't be doing that if you don't know what you're doing", and that this is arrogant, let me counter by _actually_ saying that people who don't _want_ to know what they are doing really tick me off, because it's a type of arrogance that has become very popular with easy-to-use computers: Ignorance with an attitude. #:Erik -- If this is not what you expected, please alter your expectations.
