Graham,

Not interested in marginally useful information?

I know it's the holiday season and all that, but I'm afraid this lack  
of passion for useless detail in a debugger will have to be noted in  
your permanent record.

It's a well known fact that attention to these sorts of details keep  
those of us in the know from having to have real relationships and  
deal with the everyday details of living like a normal person.

Please, get with the program.

<GRIN>,

Jerry Daniels
