Yes, I agree completely (and understood your point too ;-). I hit the delete key when I find nonwrapped lines, when the text is an heap of "kool wordz" (I, although not being an english mother-tongue, do *hate* when people bastardize it), when there's no subject or the subject is not self-explaining and when the text is full of html tags. > I'm including myself; I don't know why I bothered with that one. Because you were in a kind mood ;-) Cheers Marco
