Honestly, that's happend to me a couple times: I trip over a problem, and when looking for the solution Google finds a 6 year old thread (I started) from the first time I ran into the problem. It's really embarassing when your working with somebody else on the problem and _they_ stumble across that old thread containing the solution. -- Grant
