Dear Friends, At the risk of stating the obvious, I believe the best way of dealing with Mr. Spike is simply to ignore him. Yes, it may be difficult to do so, but he obviously likes the attention he's receiving as a result of his posts -- much like a six-year-old enjoys kicking over an anthill, and watching the insects scurry about as a result of his destructive actions. Unlike the ants, we at least have the option of ignoring our local anthill-kicker. Mr. Spike will no doubt continue to pester us only while we pay him any attention. If we ignore him long enough, he'll get bored with us and find some other mailing list to pester, some other anthill to kick over. One can but hope. Mr. Spike's claims about what he's managed to create are like a jumbo-sized jawbreaker: difficult to swallow without choking quite badly. Until he deigns to prove his rather improbable claims, I suggest that he be ignored. Gabriel ---------- In our actions we reveal the world in which we live. We speak of what we see, and understand, and know. That is, everything we do is reflective of who and what we are.

Can you code me a spell checker for email Mr. Bat Man? Slow down son... With so many messages and mails and responses, where do you find the time to change the face of computing as we know it today? No, wait, nevermind. I really could care less...
