Mac,

As usual, you are quite right.  I was just trying to teach the hobbit
how to fish without doing it for him.  If he's reading this, I
suggest he seriously considier reading the FAQ completely before
asking YA question that is covered by it.  This list recieves enough
volume as it is.  I'm sure I could have plotutils generate a graph
showing the exponential increase of volume on this list since his
first post, but I fear the point would be lost...

Cheers,
Nicholas
