Now, now, be nice. I think Bill came forth with an excellent insight into the salesperson sub-species. With a little government funding we might even be able to cure the problem by placing all newborns in an oxygen rich environment for - say - the first 15 years of their lives. But at the same time we must recognize that it's not just Oracle salespersons with this problem, there are countless others people out there afflicted with these oxymoronic tendencies. While it makes us feel as though we are dealing with a slug when talking to them, we DO need this life form - who else is going to sell used cars? cheers j. _____________________________________________________________________________ Jack Parker - Hewlett Packard, BSMC Boise, Idaho, USA jparker@hpbs3645.boi.hp.com _____________________________________________________________________________ For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals.
