I'm told that these modern difference engines have a cunning feature called cut and paste, whereby one can undertake this task without even going to the trouble of tedious typing. -- David Hansen, Edinburgh I will *always* explain revoked encryption keys, unless RIP prevents me http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/00023--e.htm#54 |

Well, sorry to put you to so much trouble, but modern computers have a field called "Subject". That pretty much says it all. (Just remembered - I turned off my killfile temporarily yesterday. Clickety-click - that's better.) -- Paul Boyd http://www.paul-boyd.co.uk/ |

A young boy was injured after a collision with a police car responding to a 999 call. Do we debate whether more lives are lost by police answering 999 calls than are saved by them getting to the destination in time? That perhaps police should use helicopters more so they would get there safer? That there should be more of them so there would be one around when you needed one? |

We could debate the point that more people are killed on the pavement by police cars than by cyclists. |

It isn't compulsory to try to find something to argue about in every post. I'm sure it's significant to the parents. -- Paul Boyd http://www.paul-boyd.co.uk/ |
