They are delegating an invalid query to us because we are the responsible party for ho is being queried. They are not checking the validity because (1) it's not their job and (2) better to load the lowest machine in the hierarchy with this processing, because higher up machines are busier. That's my take on it, anyway. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
