Good for you! <ggg>

Many years ago I had a school band teacher ask if she could arrange and
orchestrate one of my compositions. My ego at that time in life
wouldn't allow for anybody elses fingers touching my "stuff." I missed
out on an opportunity that never came again!!!

Again Glennbo, major kudos!

Microsoft's onMSN division went downhill shortly after they went from
closed HTTP planets into the NNTP universe. They axpected something
