I think your 100% right. Gimme an address and ill send money. I think the old saying put up or shut up pretty much is the bottom line here. If we want -stable to continue we will have to take up the slack or it dies. It's that simple. So lets stop arguing about it and we will either get enough support and manpower to keep -stable going or just let it die. Either way I think tempers are starting to flare now between a few people so lets find a new topic since we all know what needs to be done with stable. :) -- ===================================| Webspan Inc., ISP Division.
