[Ivan Ndip <ndip@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes Chris, it is too much to ask for. I think we have to concentrate 
more on the questions than to spend  time trying to find out  where 
people come from. And as Ray beautifully put it, "....If a particular 
piece of traffic offends your technical sensibilities it is a simple 
matter to just ignore it or delete it...." Life goes on.

Regards,
Ivan
