IMO if a PR is not submitted then one has *not* informed the Powers That Be. Having said that, for all I know there is a PR in the system that has been given restricted access until its dealt with. IIRC there is an option where one may request privacy when submitting a PR, perhaps that is the case here? Why is this in -questions? Seems -chat is more appropriate. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
