A small thing, but wasn't he > right? =3D:^) Thanks for that encouraging word... to somebody. Perhaps said leader might be named? While not publicly naming names on=20 the negative side is arguably a good thing, isn't publicly crediting=20 people by name for positives like this, when the opportunity arises, part= =20 of the solution, not the problem? (Unless there's a specific reason not to, in this case. A simple "Thanks= =20 to that unnamed person" statement would then indicate that the name was=20 deliberately withheld, while keeping it positive. IMO, of course.) --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs. "Every nonfree program has a lord, a master -- and if you use the program, he is your master." Richard Stallman
