Perhaps the methodology could have been improved, I agree, but I can tell you that even if you'd argued passionately against it, you'd have been voted down by a substantial margin and the end result would have been exactly the same. This code has been festering for a long time and something drastic needed to be done. And hey, it's already brought one user out of the woodwork, and that's a 100% improvement over the state of affairs we've had for the previous 2 years! Sometimes you can beg piteously and for hours for someone to adopt a stray puppy you have in a box, and no matter how cute and furry it is, people will walk by like you don't exist. Pull out a .45 and hold it to the puppy's head, threatening to pull the trigger if somebody doesn't adopt it, and you'll find that somebody adopts it real quick. That's was pretty much the situation with the ccitt stuff. Jordan
