Developer Dreams... Random Numbers

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Mark,

No major point; just my own, personal observations as I seek to know  
without just accepting someone else's opinion. I guess what I was  
trying to point out was that even with "their" selection method(s),  
there is probably some discoverable methodology - a pattern of some  
sort,  that would make their numbers predictable; thence not truly  
random. Thanks for your observations, and I had no intention of being  
argumentative about the topic; just a slow traffic morning. (smile)
