Umm, at the risk of starting yet another ridiculous argument, Phosphor,
in this huge world of newsgroups, why are you bothering to hang around
in one that is devoted to this unwieldy artform?

                           /
                 .-.     /^
             .o |   |  /^
            /=="\   //^
           /\    '-/^
ejm 97    /_/____/^
       _/^^ ^^^ ^

Dustin, the above is as close as I've come to doing a rock. I hope you
don't mind that Sysiphus (sp?) is attached. (And of course, I hope you
knew that the diamond ring was a joke - but if the diamond were large
enough and expensive enough....)
