It isn't hard to be dishonest and deceitful. Look at all these Mac ravers; if they can do it then /any/ brain dead monkey can. OTOH, it does your inner man no good at all. It is much better for your digestion to take that high road and let facts speak for themselves even if they aren't acknowledged by the plebeians. Cybe R. Wizard -- No man ever got very high by pulling other people down. The intelligent merchant does not knock his competitors. The sensible worker does not knock those who work with him. Don't knock your friends. Don't knock your enemies. Don't knock yourself. Alfred Lord Tennyson
