Instead of assuming that they are going to "go wrong", why not give them a chance to do it right? Everything is in place for exactly the right things to happen, I couldn't have planned it better myself, but some folks aren't happy unless they see conspiracy. When you see something wrong, you can speak up, but stop complaining about stuff that hasn't even happened yet. You could generate enough ill feelings and bad publicity to *cause yourself* the exact thing you're worried about. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C & Java programming, FreeBSD, chuckr@picnic.mat.net | electronics, communications, and signal processing.
