Hi Barbara,

I couldn't help but LOL about your offer for those who disagree -- it
reminded me of that company that claimed to have come up with a compression
algorithm that would compress any file down to 1KB or something like that by
simply compressing it recursively. I don't recall them saying much about
uncompressing it <VBG>!
